Nitrogen availability and plant functional composition modify biodiversity-multifunctionality relationships
The study reveals context-dependent diversity effects on multifunctionality, driven by species pool's functional trait composition. Global change-induced shifts amplify diversity loss impacts on ecosystem functioning, emphasizing the importance of managing functional composition. Overall, these findings underline the need to consider multiple diversity dimensions, and interactions between them and abiotic conditions, to optimise multifunctionality in the context of multiple simultaneous global change factors.
