Abstract Changes in climate and biodiversity are widely recognized as primary global
change drivers of ecosystem structure and functioning, also affecting ecosystem services …

A rich body of evidence from local-scale experiments and observational studies has
revealed stabilizing effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. However, whether …

Forest ecosystems are critical to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions through carbon
sequestration. However, climate change has affected forest ecosystem functioning in both …

Terrestrial ecosystems are characterized by a series of spatiotemporally continuous, multiple
scaled, and mutually connected processes. Since most of these ecological processes are …

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 …

Interactions between biodiversity loss and climate change present significant challenges for
research, policy and management of ecosystems. Evidence suggests that high species …

Current assessments of climate-change effects on ecosystems use two key approaches:(1)
empirical synthesis and modeling of species range shifts and life-cycle processes that …

Community processes are now undergoing substantial reconfiguration because of climate
change. Although the effects of climate change on ecosystems are currently a major …

In the present scenario, global climate change is a serious concern with respect to global
food production. Adverse environmental conditions including high temperature, drought …

Studying the effects of climate or weather extremes such as drought and heat waves on
biodiversity and ecosystem functions is one of the most important facets of climate change …
