Abstract Functional diversity is regarded as a key concept for understanding the link between ecosystem function and biodiversity. The different and ecologically well‐defined aspects of the concept are reflected by the so‐called functional compon

It is generally assumed that functional richness, diversity and evenness are complementary and, taken together, describe different facets of the distribution of species and their abundances in functional space. However, although these three primary c

Concepts and applications in functional diversity

Autor: Mammola, Stefano, Carmona, Carlos P., Guillerme, Thomas, Cardoso, Pedro

The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across space and time. Virtually all ecological sub-disciplines recognise the c

Plant diversity influences many fundamental ecosystem functions, including carbon and nutrient dynamics, during litter breakdown. Mixing different litter species causes litter mixtures to lose mass at different rates than expected from component spec
