A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

The recognition that a system can appear resilient to changes in the environment, only to
reach a critical threshold of rapid and unexpected change, is spurring work to apply …

Climate change amplifies dry and hot extremes, yet the mechanism, extent, scope, and
temporal scale of causal linkages between dry and hot extremes remain underexplored …

Urbanization is changing Earth's ecosystems by altering the interactions and feedbacks
between the fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes that maintain life. Humans …

Disturbance regimes are changing rapidly, and the consequences of such changes for
ecosystems and linked social‐ecological systems will be profound. This paper synthesizes …

Nutrition has long been considered more the domain of medicine and agriculture than of the
biological sciences, yet it touches and shapes all aspects of the natural world. The need for …

Disturbances are fundamental components of ecosystems and, in many cases, a dominant
driver of ecosystem structure and function at multiple spatial and temporal scales. While the …

All questions in ecology and problems in conservation play out in space. This simple fact
has generated a long-standing interest from scientists and practitioners, and it is now well …

The past decade has seen significant progress in characterizing uncertainty in
environmental systems models, through statistical treatment of incomplete knowledge …

This paper reviews the state of the art on the resilience of complex systems by embracing
different research areas and using bibliometric tools. The aim is to identify the main …
