DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3745
Abstract: Biodiversity across multiple trophic levels is required to maintain multiple ecosystem functions. Yet, it remains unclear how multitrophic diversity and species interactions regulate ecosystem multifunctionality. Here, combining data from nine different trophic groups (including trees,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.70054
Abstract: Increasing the number of global change factors (GCFs) strongly influences biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the specific mechanisms through which biodiversity, especially soil biodiversity, stabilise ecosystem multifunctionality under rapidly growing GCFs remain elusive. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16464
Abstract: Large grazers (megaherbivores) have a profound impact on ecosystem functioning. However, how ecosystem multifunctionality is affected by changes in megaherbivore populations remains poorly understood. Understanding the total impact on ecosystem multifunctionality requires an integrative ecosystem… read more here.
