| Rangeland Biodiversity, Ecosystem (multi) Functionality, Ecosystem Stability and Dynamic: Plant species number and/or composition are thought to influence ecosystem productivity, stability, nutrient dynamics and invisibility. Although it has been shown that greater plant species numbers are associated with ecosystem (multi) functionality in rangeland communities, it is not clear how and to what extent ecosystem (multi) functionality depends upon the presence of one or more key functional traits in the plant community. In this study we will test the associations between functional trait values and different ecosystem function and stability against anthropogenic variables and global warming across different bioclimatic regions . |
