Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning

The graph above shows the concentration of carbon dioxide in a densely grown bottle during three days and nights.. As a com- parison you can see the average amount of carbon

We related three metrics of diversity (effective number of species, phyloge- netic diversity, and functional diversity) to three response variables: (i) bac- terial abundance,

These changes in people‘s behaviour as a response to environmental policy are reflected in terms of labour allocation, what resources and what quantities

I found that the diversity and composition of functional traits within the stream detritivore feeding guild sometimes had effects on ecosystem functioning as strong

Although overall decomposition rates in the older riparian forests were as slow as those in the newest clear- cuts, the higher CV in older forest streams possibly indicates

Rules and regulations described in the Brazilian Forest Act and in the Atlantic Forest Law were used to allocate protected areas on private territory. This procedure aimed at

With higher diversity, ecosystem functioning will keep constant, since there is more chance for the ecosystem to have more species that can resist the perturbation; or there

natural driving forces (ES‐DF) for the forest, as sun, rain and wind can be used or, alternatively, the emergy values delivered by the forest to the human society and economy can
