Conventional farming practices can lead to soil degradation and a decline in productivity.
Regenerative agriculture (RA) is purported by advocates as a solution to these issues that …

Traits are measurable features of organisms. Functional traits aspire to more. They quantify
an organism's ecology and, ultimately, predict ecosystem functions based on local …

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 …

Understanding the effects of diversity on ecosystem stability in the context of global change
has become an important goal of recent ecological research. However, the effects of …

The proportion of people living in urban areas is growing globally. Understanding how to
manage urban biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and ecosystem services is becoming more …

Biodiversity across multiple trophic levels is required to maintain multiple ecosystem
functions. Yet it remains unclear how multitrophic diversity and species interactions regulate …

Plant and microbial diversity are key to determine ecosystem functioning. Despite the well‐
known role of local‐scale α diversity in affecting vegetation biomass, the effects of …

Dung removal by macrofauna such as dung beetles is an important process for nutrient
cycling in pasturelands. Intensification of farming practices generally reduces species and …

The global biodiversity crisis has stimulated decades of research on three themes: species
coexistence, biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships (BEF), and biodiversity …

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions (BEFs) has attracted great
interest. Studies on BEF have so far focused on the average trend of ecosystem function as …
