Pathways for cross-boundary effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning
The biodiversity–ecosystem functioning concept asserts that processes in ecosystems are
markedly influenced by species richness and other facets of biodiversity. However …

Reintroducing environmental change drivers in biodiversity–ecosystem functioning research
For the past 20 years, research on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (B-EF) has only
implicitly considered the underlying role of environmental change. We illustrate that explicitly …
