The observed degradation in essential ecosystem services has catalysed a demand for biodiversity promoting policies. To implement them we need quantitative information on how ecosystem functions are changing due to the direct effects of global change vs. effects mediated by changes in biodiversity. With BEFPREDICT, I will tackle this challenge by providing a novel framework for linking global change, through its effects on biodiversity, to ecosystem functions. My approach builds on three recent developments, each transformative in itself but so far essentially unlinked to each other. First, community ecology has significantly progressed our ability to predict how abiotic drivers shape…
