Aridity may alter the contributions of plants and fungi to grassland functions

Grassland aridification threatens biodiversity which supports ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF), but the relative roles of biota in maintaining EMF are poorly known. A new study in PLoS Biology finds complementarity of above- and belowground biodiversity and a trade-off between fungal and plant ric...

Zusammenfassung:	Grassland aridification threatens biodiversity which supports ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF), but the relative roles of biota in maintaining EMF are poorly known. A new study in PLoS Biology finds complementarity of above- and belowground biodiversity and a trade-off between fungal and plant richness in driving EMF with aridity.
