recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology"

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.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.70040

Abstract: Environmental change drivers (ECDs) impact ecological communities in various ways, from enrichment that increases species' performance and abundance, to stressors that reduce their reproduction and growth. These effects can affect species coexistence as well as… 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/s13280-020-01477-8

Abstract: From the 1970s to the 1990s, ecology was dominated by two separate traditions that viewed ecosystems in different ways, and used different concepts and measures in their research. As Lawton (1994) stated, ‘‘For almost three… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13595-019-0845-8

Abstract: Key messageThe results of this study, based on a large dataset with mapped tree locations, suggest that the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) is different between the over- and understorey in the investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.09.037

Abstract: Biological communities are assembling, re-assembling, and changing worldwide. How will shifts in community composition alter ecosystem functioning? New research shows that earthworms alter community composition and 52% of measured functions, an important step toward understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2016.10.025

Abstract: Abstract This study aims to estimate, model and map the spatial differences of ecosystem functioning expressed by community bioturbation potential (BPc), an indicator of benthic faunal function based on bioturbation, in the German part of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106984

Abstract: Abstract Extreme temperature events have increased in intensity, duration and frequency in the last century, with potential consequences on organisms and ecosystems. In many streams, leaf litter of terrestrial origin is a key resource for… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Environmental science & technology"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.2c05662

Abstract: While microplastic transport, fate, and effects have been a focus of studies globally, the consequences of their presence on ecosystem functioning have not received the same attention. With increasing evidence of the accumulation of microplastics… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biology Letters"

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2018.0865

Abstract: Dispersal can strongly influence ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Besides the direct contribution of dispersal to population dynamics, dispersers often differ in their phenotypic attributes from non-dispersers, which leads to dispersal syndromes. The consequences of such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2018.2859

Abstract: Self-organized spatial patterns are increasingly recognized for their contribution to ecosystem functioning, in terms of enhanced productivity, ecosystem stability, and species diversity in terrestrial as well as marine ecosystems. Most studies on the impact of… read more here.
