Multispecies tree planting has long been applied in forestry and landscape restoration in the
hope of providing better timber production and ecosystem services; however, a systematic …

Biodiversity experiments have shown that species loss reduces ecosystem functioning in
grassland. To test whether this result can be extrapolated to forests, the main contributors to …

Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem
functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures. To determine …

Monoculture plantations have been promoted for the restoration of the world's forested area,
but these have not contained or reversed the loss of biodiversity. More innovative incentive …

INTRODUCTION The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR; the effect of biodiversity on
ecosystem productivity) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis …

Aim Planted forests are becoming increasingly common world‐wide for a variety of reasons,
including water conservation and carbon sequestration, although the effects of tree …

Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and
biodiversity benefits; however, there is a lack of rigorous comparison of cobenefit delivery …

Forests are of major importance to human society, contributing several crucial ecosystem
services. Biodiversity is suggested to positively influence multiple services but evidence from …

Ample evidence has indicated that mixed tree plantations are the most appropriate option for
providing a broad range of goods and environmental services, but still debate continues …

Across the tropics, recent agricultural shifts have led to a rapid expansion of tree plantations,
often into intact forests and grasslands. However, this expansion is poorly characterized …
