TL;DR: It is shown that plant diversity effects dampen with increasing trophic level and degree of omnivory, and the results suggest that plant Diversity has strong bottom-up effects on multitrophic interaction networks, with particularly strong effects on lower trophIC levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land use intensification alters ecosystem multifunctionality via loss of biodiversity and changes to functional composition

TL;DR: Biodiversity loss explained indirect effects in a region of intermediate productivity and was most damaging when land‐use objectives favoured supporting and cultural services, and functional composition shifts, towards fast‐growing plant species, strongly increased provisioning services in more inherently unproductive grasslands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity at multiple trophic levels is needed for ecosystem multifunctionality

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that primary producers, herbivorous insects and microbial decomposers seem to be particularly important drivers of ecosystem functioning, as shown by the strong and frequent positive associations of their richness or abundance with multiple ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redefining ecosystem multifunctionality.
Peter Manning,Fons van der Plas,Santiago Soliveres,Eric Allan,Fernando T. Maestre,Georgina M. Mace,Mark J. Whittingham,Markus Fischer +7 more
TL;DR: In this Perspective, the authors reconcile these views by redefining multifunctionality at two levels that will be relevant for both fundamental and applied researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that even moderate increases in local land-use intensity (LUI) cause biotic homogenization across microbial, plant and animal groups, both above- and belowground, and that this is largely independent of changes in α-diversity.
