When Do More Species Maximize More Ecosystem Services?
Eleanor Slade et al.
Trends in Plant Science, 2019
Research published in Trends in Plant Science highlights that no single species contributes to all ecosystem functions. Maximising multiple ecosystem services simultaneously requires greater species diversity than optimising any single function, because different species drive different processes. For forest carbon projects, this means that biodiverse restoration designs are more likely to deliver the full range of co-benefits that nature finance increasingly demands.
