Concerns on biodiversity protection are usually linked to species protection and extinction risks for iconic species, such as whales, pandas and so on. However, conserving biodiversity has much deeper implications than preserving a few (although important) species. Biodiversity in ecosystems is tightly linked to ecosystem functions such as biomass production, organic matter decomposition, ecosystem resilience, and others. Many of these ecological processes are also directly implied in services that the humankind obtains from ecosystems. The first part of this book will introduce different concepts and theories important to understand the links between ecosystem function and ecosystem biodiversity. The second part of the book provides a wide range of different studies showcasing the evidence and practical implications of such relationships. 517 $aBiodiversity in ecosystems 517 $aBiodiversity in Ecosystems - Linking Structure and Function 606 $aBiodiversity 610 $aLife Sciences 610 $aPlant Biology 610 $aAgricultural and Biological Sciences 610 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aBiodiversity. 676 $a333.95 700 $aJuan A.
