Towards a unified study of multiple stressors: divisions and common goals across research disciplines

…, PJ Van den Brink, F De Laender… - … of the Royal …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Anthropogenic environmental changes, or ‘stressors’, increasingly threaten biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning worldwide. Multiple-stressor research is a rapidly expanding field of …

Reintroducing environmental change drivers in biodiversity–ecosystem functioning research

F De Laender, JR Rohr, R Ashauer, DJ Baird… - Trends in ecology & …, 2016 - cell.com
For the past 20 years, research on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (B-EF) has only
implicitly considered the underlying role of environmental change. We illustrate that explicitly …

Biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning despite environmental change

P Hong, B Schmid, F De Laender… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning
of ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem …

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning respond unimodally to environmental stress

…, N Eisenhauer, CR Janssen, F De Laender - Ecology …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding how biodiversity (B) affects ecosystem functioning (EF) is essential for assessing
the consequences of ongoing biodiversity changes. An increasing number of studies, …

Shifts of community composition and population density substantially affect ecosystem function despite invariant richness

…, JR Rohr, PJ Van den Brink, F De Laender - Ecology …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
There has been considerable focus on the impacts of environmental change on ecosystem
function arising from changes in species richness. However, environmental change may …

The dimensionality of stability depends on disturbance type

V Radchuk, FD Laender, JS Cabral… - Ecology …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Ecosystems respond in various ways to disturbances. Quantifying ecological stability therefore
requires inspecting multiple stability properties, such as resistance, recovery, persistence …

Density declines, richness increases, and composition shifts in stream macroinvertebrates

…, ES Bernhardt, P Bradley, E Brown, F De Laender… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Documenting trends of stream macroinvertebrate biodiversity is challenging because
biomonitoring often has limited spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scopes. We analyzed biodiversity …

Community‐and ecosystem‐level effects of multiple environmental change drivers: Beyond null model testing

F De Laender - Global change biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the joint effect of multiple drivers of environmental change is a key scientific
challenge. The dominant approach today is to compare observed joint effects with …

Horizontal and vertical diversity jointly shape food web stability against small and large perturbations

…, M Vollebregt, S Wang, F De Laender - Ecology …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The biodiversity of food webs is composed of horizontal (ie within trophic levels) and vertical
diversity (ie the number of trophic levels). Understanding their joint effect on stability is a key …

Seasonal PCB bioaccumulation in an Arctic marine ecosystem: a model analysis incorporating lipid dynamics, food-web productivity and migration

FD Laender, DV Oevelen, S Frantzen… - … science & technology, 2010 - ACS Publications
Primary production and species’ lipid contents in Arctic ecosystems are notoriously seasonal.
Additionally, seasonal migration patterns of fish may alter prey availability and thus diet. …
