Incorporating plant functional diversity effects in ecosystem service assessments.
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 modulated by the functional diversity of biological communities (the value, range, and relative abundance of functional traits in a given ecosystem). The focus of this article ...
متن کاملAssessing Ecosystem Services to Identify Conservation Priorities
The history of life is fi lled with examples of one species diverging into several, even thousands, each with unique traits geared to the demands of its ecological niche. In the textbook case of adaptive radiation, an ancestral fi nch species landed on the Galapagos Islands just a few million years ago, and evolved into 13 new species with specialized beaks adapted to exploiting the various see...
متن کاملHigh Spatial Resolution Remotely Sensed Data for Ecosystem Characterization
R sensed data have been employed for the characterization of ecologically important variables from local through global contexts. These data may be used to generate a wide range of estimates that are valuable to ecologists, including information on land cover, vegetation cover, habitat, forest structure, and forest function (Kerr and Ostrovsky 2003), and to track changes in these variables. Rec...
متن کاملFunctional identity and diversity of animals predict ecosystem
40 Drastic biodiversity declines have raised concerns about the deterioration of ecosystem 41 functions and have motivated much recent research on the relationship between species diversity 42 and ecosystem functioning. A functional trait framework has been proposed to improve the 43 mechanistic understanding of this relationship, but this has rarely been tested for organisms other 44 than plan...
متن کاملMicrobial Functional Gene Diversity Predicts Groundwater Contamination and Ecosystem Functioning
Contamination from anthropogenic activities has significantly impacted Earth's biosphere. However, knowledge about how environmental contamination affects the biodiversity of groundwater microbiomes and ecosystem functioning remains very limited. Here, we used a comprehensive functional gene array to analyze groundwater microbiomes from 69 wells at the Oak Ridge Field Research Center (Oak Ridge...
