Ecological theory suggests that biodiversity has a positive and stabilizing effect on the
delivery of ecosystem services. Yet, the impacts of increasing the diversity of cultivated crop …

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 …

Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and
biodiversity benefits; however, there is a lack of rigorous comparison of cobenefit delivery …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Relationships between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (that is, ecosystem
multifunctionality) are context-dependent. Both plant and soil microbial diversity have been …

While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial
communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess …

Belowground biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem functions and services that humans
rely on. However, there is a dearth of studies exploring the determinants of the biodiversity …

While the contribution of biodiversity to supporting multiple ecosystem functions is well
established in natural ecosystems, the relationship of the above-and below-ground diversity …

Forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and they are also essential for the provision of a
wide range of ecosystem services that are important to human well-being. There is …

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in ecosystem multifunctionality, a concept that
has developed in the largely separate fields of biodiversity–ecosystem function and land …
