Ecosystems provide food, fuel, and drinkable water, regulate local and regional climate, and recycle needed nutrients, among other things. This volume synthesizes empirical studies on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and extends that knowledge using a novel and coordinated set of models and theoretical approaches.
