A framework for functional biodiversity research
{"Image DocumentName": "A framework for functional biodiversity research", "Image ImageDescription": "A heuristic tool to summarise existing knowledge, test hypotheses, and identify knowledge and data gaps on biotic relationships and processes that underpin different ecosystem functions. Flexbility of the framework: Number and arrangement of trophic levels. Types of biotic interactions : trophic but not only. Diversity of possible configurations. Using trait syndromes rather than traits. Comparing implementations under different contexts (climate, fertility...) Main current limitations : Knowledge and data availability for traits in many organisms other than plants. Quantitative relationships between trait-based metrics (functional diversity) and ecosystem processes.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
