Plant diversity loss affects stream ecosystem multifunctionality
(Ecological Society of America, 2019)
Land use intensity indirectly affects ecosystem services mainly through plant functional identity in a temperate forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
Land‐use change is known to affect biodiversity, and there is increasing concern regarding how these changes may impact the provision of ecosystem services. Although functional composition (diversity and identity) could ...
A framework for the classification Chilean terrestrial ecosystems as a tool for achieving global conservation targets
(Springer, 2017)
Countries that are signatories of the Convention of Biological Diversity are committed to the goal of protecting 17% of their natural ecosystems by 2020. The lack of an up-to-date, operational classification and cartography ...
Modelling impacts of drivers on biodiversity and ecosystems
(Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), 2016)
Purpose of this chapter: Explores key issues in modelling impacts of changes in direct drivers on biodiversity and ecosystems; and critically reviews major types of models for generating outputs that are either directly ...
Functional traits, the phylogeny of function, and ecosystem service vulnerability
(Wiley, 2013-09)
People depend on benefits provided by ecological systems. Understanding how these ecosystem services – and the ecosystem properties underpinning them – respond to drivers of change is therefore an urgent priority. We address ...
Incorporating plant functional diversity effects in ecosystem service assessments
(National Academy of Sciences, 2007-12)
Global environmental change affects the sustained provision of a wide set of ecosystem services. Although the delivery of ecosystem services is strongly affected by abiotic drivers and direct land use effects, it is also ...
Engineering by an invasive species alters landscape-level ecosystem function, but does not affect biodiversity in freshwater systems
(Wiley, 2014-02)
Aim: Ecological theory predicts that invasive ecosystem engineers like the American beaver (Castor canadensis) in Tierra del Fuego (TDF) affect landscape-level biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) when engineered ...
Restoration of plant diversity and ecosystem functioning: effects of species richness, phylogenetic distance, functional diversity and invasive plants
(BrasilUFRNPROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ECOLOGIA, 2017-05-24)
Biodiversity positively affects several ecosystem functions. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which biodiversity affects ecosystems are still poorly understood and call for new experimental studies designed to identify its ...
Predicting the ecosystem consequences of biodiversity loss at the landscape level
(Springer, 2007)
The experimental and theoretical BEF research spurred by the growth of global change ecology led to a robust set of results that strongly suggest that withintrophic level changes in diversity are associated with changes ...
Why should we care about soil fauna?
(Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, Brasília, DF, v. 44, n. 8, p.835-842, ago. 2009., 2014)
