Species diversity promotes the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality). However, relative functional importance rare and common species in driving biodiversity–multifunctionality relationship remains unknown. We studied between (according to their local abundances across nine different trophic groups), multifunctionality indices derived from 14 on 150 grasslands a land-use intensity (LUI) gradient. The above- below-ground had opposite effects, with above-ground being...
Extreme environmental conditions in the deep sea hamper access to protist communities. In combination with potentially highly diverse species composition, it demands a wide range of methods be applied at same time guarantee high resolution quantitative and qualitative studies deep-sea heterotrophic flagellates (HF). Within this study, we present possible several culture-independent culture-dependent available for investigating benthic HF Besides live-counting fixation HF, refer cultivation...
