Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning
of ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem …

Background and aims Crop diversity has been repeatedly shown to support multiple
ecosystem functions, both directly and indirectly, driven by interspecific root-root interactions …

Diversified crop rotations have been suggested to reduce grain yield losses from the
adverse climatic conditions increasingly common under climate change. Nevertheless, the …

After 25 years of biodiversity experiments, it is clear that higher biodiversity (B) plant
communities are usually more productive and often have greater ecosystem functioning (EF) …

Droughts will increase in frequency, intensity, duration, and spread under climate change.
Drought affects numerous sectors in society and the natural environment, including short …

Long-term research in grassland biodiversity experiments has provided empirical evidence
that ecological and evolutionary processes are intertwined in determining both biodiversity …

Continuing negative rainfall anomalies, coupled with climate change projections of
