The role of biodiversity in shaping ecosystem functioning (EF) and stability (ES) is a fundamental question in ecology. The mechanisms underlying biodiversity-EF (BEF) and biodiversity-ES (BES) relations have been extensively studied, but they have been approached separately, and we thus lack an understanding of how EF and ES relate, a particularly urgent task in the face of global environmental change. Further, most research has been conducted within single trophic communities and relatively small spatial scales, and whether the types of relations observed are scalable and applicable to multi-trophic communities is unknown. To address these shortcomings, in GorBEEa I propose to merge BEF…
