Land management and climate change affect ecosystems' ability to provide multiple services simultaneously - EurekAlert
A novel study published in Nature Communications found that agroecosystems in Central Germany, specifically grasslands and croplands, may have an enhanced capacity to provide multiple goods and services simultaneously when land management reduces the use of pesticides and mineral nitrogen fertiliser. This finding holds true under potential future climate conditions, with soil biodiversity expected to be a significant element of so-called multifunctionality, according to researchers at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Leipzig University (UL), and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU).
