Single‐trait functional indices outperform multi‐trait indices in linking environmental gradients and ecosystem services in a complex landscape (2013, background): “Inclusion of functional traits, indicative of how organisms and ecological communities influence ESs through effects on underlying ecosystem processes, into biodiversity–ecosystem function research has provided important insights into the relationships among ESs (Kremen & Ostfeld 2005; Díaz et al. 2”
How fundamental plant functional trait relationships scale‐up to trade‐offs and synergies in ecosystem services (2012, background): “However, the contribution of biodiversity to several simultaneous ecosystem functions has rarely been investigated (Reiss et al. 2009), and only a few recent studies have demonstrated that increasing numbers of species are required to sustain levels in increasing numbers of ecosystem functions (Hect”
Climate change and freshwater ecosystems: impacts across multiple levels of organization (2010, background): “Since B-EF experiments aim to assess how biodiversity (genetic, taxonomic and functional diversity) mediates ecosystem processes, it is essential to be able to quantify the relevant traits of the organisms that are driving the process in question (Reiss et al. 2009).”
Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change (2013, background): “Ecosystem process: This is synonymous with ‘ecosystem function’ (Reiss et al., 2009).”
Does species‐level resolution matter? Taxonomic sufficiency in terrestrial arthropod biodiversity studies (2013, background): “In this context, the use of a higher level taxon (e.g. genus or family) may be necessary (e.g. Reiss et al., 2009).”
Plant functional effects on ecosystem services (2013, background): “…and ecosystem services and to incorporate not only the functional characteristics of plants, but those of other organisms with which plants interact for the provision of ecosystem services (De Deyn, Cornelissen & Bardgett 2008; Reiss et al. 2009; De Bello et al. 2010; Sutherland et al. 2013).”
A functional trait-based approach to understand community assembly and diversity-productivity relationships over 7 years in experimental grasslands (2013, background): “…evidence that functionally 70 important aspects of biodiversity are better represented through the presence, abundance, 71 diversity and distribution of relevant plant functional attributes within species assemblages 72 (Díaz and Cabido, 2001; Petchey and Gaston, 2006; Reiss et al., 2009).”
Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands (2011, positive): “on pre-defined functional groups, future studies could benefit from taking a trait-based approach, using measurable characteristics of the different components of communities (across trophic levels) rather than categorical groups, as has recently become the focus in biodiversity-ecosystem functionin”
Relative importance of soil properties and microbial community for soil functionality: insights from a microbial swap experiment (2016, background): “…(i.e. aggregated functions) requires the cooperation of large and diverse groups of micro-organ- isms (Schimel, Bennett & Fierer 2005; Horwath 2007; Reiss et al. 2009) to break down soil organic matter, and thus, the microbial community may still be an important controlling factor in broad…”
Lack of functional redundancy in the relationship between microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning (2016, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2016 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 104, 936–946 symbiosis, competition and mutualism; Reiss et al. 2009) and vertical (i.e. multitrophic food-web interactions; Duffy et al. 2007) species interactions, whereas such interactions can take much longer to develop…”
Global variation in marine fish body size and its role in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (2010, background): “…clearer definition of the inter-relationships between taxonomic diversity, functional diversity, and community structure as a means of clarifying the contribution of species richness to the structure and stability of ecosystems (Loreau et al. 2001, Hillebrand & Matthiessen 2009, Reiss et al. 2009).”
Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “…for a predictive knowledge of the consequences of biodiversity changes, the central issue in BEF research has now moved from establishing whether diversity matters, to identifying the biological mechanisms underlying its effects on ecosystem functioning (Reiss et al. 2009, Mouillot et al. 2011).”
Diversity of Interactions: A Metric for Studies of Biodiversity (2010, background): “R E V I E W”
Species contribute differently to the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity of freshwater fish communities (2014, background): “By adopting a multifaceted approach to studying biodiversity patterns, a unique perspective on the mechanisms influencing communities’ composition, structure and dynamics can thus be gained (D ıaz et al., 2007; Graham & Fine, 2008; Cadotte et al., 2009; Reiss et al., 2009).”
Freshwater food webs: towards a more fundamental understanding of biodiversity and community dynamics (2012, background): “, 2010) and phylogenetic relatedness (Ives & Godfray, 2006), and the ecosystem processes that emerge from these patterns (Reiss et al., 2009).”
Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “In spite of the increasing number of studies, it is still unclear how biological diversity and ecosystem functioning are governed under natural conditions and how they are impacted by human activity (Reiss et al., 2009).”
