Monitoring global biodiversity from space through remotely sensing geospatial patterns has
high potential to add to our knowledge acquired by field observation. Although a framework …

Introduction: Biodiversity and biodiversity-based ecosystems services are intrinsically
dependent on the climate. During the twentieth century, climate change has posed major …

Given the substantial contributions of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services to society,
forest sciences have a large potential to contribute to the integrity and sustainability of our …

Plant species richness and the presence of certain influential species (sampling effect) drive
the stability and functionality of ecosystems as well as primary production and biomass of …

This paper reviews the concepts of ecosystem resilience, resistance, and stability in forests
and their relationship to biodiversity, with particular reference to climate change. The report …

Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiments address ecosystem‐level
consequences of species loss by comparing communities of high species richness with …

Abstract Theory predicts shifts in the magnitude and direction of biodiversity effects on
ecosystem function (BEF) over succession, but this theory remains largely untested. We …

There is increasing evidence that mixed‐species forests can provide multiple ecosystem
services at a higher level than their monospecific counterparts. However, most studies …

Studies on tree communities have demonstrated that species diversity can enhance forest
productivity, but the driving mechanisms at the local neighbourhood level remain poorly …

Background Despite empirical support for an increase in ecosystem productivity with
species diversity in synthetic systems, there is ample evidence that this relationship is …
