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 …

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 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 …

Recent reports of local extinctions of arthropod species, and of massive declines in
arthropod biomass, point to land-use intensification as a major driver of decreasing …

Soils underpin terrestrial ecosystem functions, but they face numerous anthropogenic
pressures. Despite their crucial ecological role, we know little about how soils react to more …

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in vegetation remote sensing allows a time-
flexible and cost-effective acquisition of very high-resolution imagery. Still, current methods …

Land-use intensification can increase provisioning ecosystem services, such as food and
timber production, but it also drives changes in ecosystem functioning and biodiversity loss …

Increasing pressure on land resources necessitates landscape management strategies that
simultaneously deliver multiple benefits to numerous stakeholder groups with competing …

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

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