In spite of the increasing amount of experimental evidence on the importance of plant
species richness for ecosystem functioning at local scales, its role on the generation of …

Biodiversity is known to play a fundamental role in ecosystem functioning and thus may
positively influence the provision of ecosystem services with benefits to society. There is a …

Plant biodiversity, which is fundamental for the delivery of ecosystem services, is in decline.
Yet, knowledge about how plant biodiversity is perceived and appreciated is scarce. We …

Humans are altering the composition of biological communities through a variety of activities
that increase rates of species invasions and species extinctions, at all scales, from local to …

Biodiversity is being lost in our rapidly changing world. Most studies that examine
biodiversity measure species richness, but loss of functional diversity (FD)–defined as the …
