Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in naturally assembled communities
F van der Plas - Biological Reviews, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Approximately 25 years ago, ecologists became increasingly interested in the question of
whether ongoing biodiversity loss matters for the functioning of ecosystems. As such, a new …

Scaling‐up biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning research
A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

The supply of multiple ecosystem services requires biodiversity across spatial scales
The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the
role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the delivery of ecosystem services remains …
