Understanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological
processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1062–1072 Abstract Sustainable agricultural landscapes by
definition provide high magnitude and stability of ecosystem services, biodiversity and crop …

It remains unclear whether biodiversity buffers ecosystems against climate extremes, which
are becoming increasingly frequent worldwide. Early results suggested that the ecosystem …

There is mounting evidence that biodiversity increases the stability of ecosystem processes
in changing environments, but the mechanisms that underlie this effect are still controversial …

Human well-being relies critically on ecosystem services provided by nature. Examples
include water and air quality regulation, nutrient cycling and decomposition, plant pollination …

Globally, forests cover nearly one third of the land area and they contain over 80% of
terrestrial biodiversity. Both the extent and quality of forest habitat continue to decrease and …

The relationship between biological diversity and ecological stability has fascinated
ecologists for decades. Determining the generality of this relationship, and discovering the …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-
being? In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes …

Multi‐species cover crop mixtures have been increasing in popularity. It has been
hypothesized these mixtures produce more biomass, suppress more weeds, scavenge more …

Abstract Theory predicts a positive relationship between biodiversity and stability in
ecosystem properties, while diversity is expected to have a negative impact on stability at the …
