Approximately 25 years ago, ecologists became increasingly interested in the question of
whether ongoing biodiversity loss matters for the functioning of ecosystems. As such, a new …

Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning
of ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem …

Anthropogenic climate change threatens ecosystem functioning. Soil biodiversity is essential
for maintaining the health of terrestrial systems, but how climate change affects the richness …

Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing
climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of …

Soil fungi are fundamental to plant productivity, yet their influence on the temporal stability of
global terrestrial ecosystems, and their capacity to buffer plant productivity against extreme …

Biodiversity is crucial for the provision of ecosystem functions. However, ecosystems are
now exposed to a rapidly growing number of anthropogenic pressures, and it remains …

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

Biodiversity enhances many of nature's benefits to people, including the regulation of
climate and the production of wood in forests, livestock forage in grasslands and fish in …

Many experiments have shown that loss of biodiversity reduces the capacity of ecosystems
to provide the multiple services on which humans depend,. However, experiments …

In the past two decades, a large number of studies have investigated the relationship
between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, most of which focussed on a limited set of …
