Climatic and geographic factors affect ecosystem multifunctionality through biodiversity in the Tibetan alpine grasslands

Ecosystem multifunctionality （EMF）, thesimultaneous provision of multiple ecosystemfunctions, is often affected by biodiversity andenvironmental factors. We know little about how theinteractions between biodiversity and environmentalfactors affect EMF. In this case study, a structuralequation model...

Summary:Ecosystem multifunctionality （EMF）, thesimultaneous provision of multiple ecosystemfunctions, is often affected by biodiversity andenvironmental factors. We know little about how theinteractions between biodiversity and environmentalfactors affect EMF. In this case study, a structuralequation model was used to clarify climatic andgeographic pathways that affect EMF by varyingbiodiversity in the Tibetan alpine grasslands.
