While the positive relationship between plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF)
is well established, the extent to which this is mediated via belowground microbial …

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in ecosystem multifunctionality, a concept that
has developed in the largely separate fields of biodiversity–ecosystem function and land …

The role of soil biodiversity in regulating multiple ecosystem functions is poorly understood,
limiting our ability to predict how soil biodiversity loss might affect human wellbeing and …

The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the
role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the delivery of ecosystem services remains …

Soil microbial communities play an essential role in driving multiple functions (ie,
multifunctionality) that are central to the global biogeochemical cycles. Long-term fertilization …

In recent years there has been an upsurge of studies on ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF),
or the ability of ecosystems to simultaneously provide multiple functions and/or services. The …

Despite the importance of microbial communities for ecosystem services and human
welfare, the relationship between microbial diversity and multiple ecosystem functions and …

Soil organisms are an integral component of ecosystems, but their activities receive little
recognition in agricultural management strategies. Here we synthesize the potential of soil …

Long-term fertilization is known to impact the biodiversity and community structures of soil
organisms, which are responsible for multiple soil ecosystem functions (multifunctionality) …

Increasing plant diversity can increase ecosystem functioning, stability, and services in both
natural and managed grasslands, but the effects of herbivore diversity, and especially of …
