DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2645
Abstract: Understanding how biodiversity influences ecosystem functioning is one of the central goals of modern ecology. The early and often acrimonious debates about the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning were largely resolved following the advent… read more here.

Studying biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in experimental microcosms among islands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3664
Abstract: Abstract Ecological studies on islands have provided fundamental insights into the mechanisms underlying biodiversity of larger organisms, but we know little about the factors affecting island microbial biodiversity and ecosystem function. We conducted a field… read more here.

Assessing the importance of species and their assemblages for the biodiversity-ecosystem multifunctionality relationship.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4104
Abstract: Biodiversity changes, such as decline in species richness and biotic homogenization, can have grave consequences for ecosystem functionality. Careful investigation of biodiversity-ecosystem multifunctionality linkages with due consideration of conceptual and technical challenges is required to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0258-9
Abstract: The ongoing loss of biodiversity and global environmental changes severely affect the structure of coastal ecosystems. Consequences, in terms of ecosystem functioning, are, however, difficult to predict because the context dependency of the biodiversity–ecosystem function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10113-020-01685-8
Abstract: Projections of future changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) are of increasing importance to inform policy and decision-making on options for conservation and sustainable use of BES. Scenario-based modelling is a powerful tool to… read more here.

Can a golf course support biodiversity and ecosystem services? The landscape context matter
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Landscape Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10980-019-00885-w
Abstract: In the last 30 years, the number of golf courses has increased dramatically worldwide. Since no other sport occupies and manages such large areas of green space, landscape context is crucial for determining their impacts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cosust.2017.12.011
Abstract: With global science-policy conventions for biodiversity and ecosystem services in place, much effort goes into monitoring and reporting on the progress toward policy targets. As conservation actions happen locally, can such global monitoring and reporting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biac074
Abstract: Abstract Global biodiversity and ecosystem service models typically operate independently. Ecosystem service projections may therefore be overly optimistic because they do not always account for the role of biodiversity in maintaining ecological functions. We review… read more here.
