Ecosystems on Earth’s land surface support multiple functions and services that are critical for society, like biomass production, vegetation’s efficiency of using sunlight and water, water retention ...

Benthic ecosystems form the foundation of many marine and freshwater environments, providing essential services such as nutrient recycling, sediment stabilisation and habitat formation. Central to ...

Ecosystem restoration projects aim to restore biodiversity and associated compromised ecosystem services. Evidence is ...

There were significant differences in the key driving factors of aboveground biomass in different spatial degrees. The results of the mixed effects model revealed the effects of tree diversity, ...

Declines in species diversity carry profound implications for ecosystem functioning. Communities of primary producers and consumers interact on evolutionary as well as ecological time scales, shaping ...

(Beyond Pesticides, May 6, 2025) A study in Ecology Letters finds “severe degradation of ecosystem functioning in the form of loss of organic matter consumption and dramatic shifts in primary ...

A large international research team has identified three key indicators that together summarize the integrative function of terrestrial ecosystems: 1. the capacity to maximize primary productivity, 2.
