New Publication from Li et al. in Nature Ecology and Evolution: Plant diversity enhances ecosystem multifunctionality via multitrophic diversity
A latest international research has shown that, in both forest and grassland ecosystems, the association between multitrophic diversity and multifunctionality was stronger than the relationship between the diversity of individual…

New Publication from Zhou et al. in Nature Geoscience: Resistance of ecosystem services to global change weakened by increasing number of environmental stressors
Terrestrial ecosystems are subjected to multiple global changes simultaneously. Yet, how an increasing number of global changes impact the resistance of ecosystems to global change remains virtually unknown. Here we…

New Publicaion from Eisenhauer et al. in Basic and Applied Ecology: The multiple-mechanisms hypothesis of biodiversity–stability relationships
Long-term research in grassland biodiversity experiments has provided empirical evidence that ecological and evolutionary processes are intertwined in determining both biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) and biodiversity–stability relationships. Focusing on plant diversity,…

New Publicaion from Lipoma et al. in Global Ecology & Biogeography: No general support for functional diversity enhancing resilience across terrestrial plant communities
Aim Understanding the mechanisms promoting resilience in plant communities is crucial in times of increasing disturbance and global environmental change. Here, we present the first meta-analysis evaluating the relationship between…
