Characterizations of how species mediate ecosystem properties require more comprehensive functional effect descriptors
The importance of individual species in mediating ecosystem process and functioning is generally accepted, but categorical descriptors that summarize species-specific contributions to ecosystems tend to reference a limited number of biological traits and underestimate the importance of how organisms...
