Ecosystem functioning depends on biodiversity at multiple trophic levels, yet relationships between multitrophic diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality have been poorly explored, with studies ...

Denver, Colo., USA: Great Salt Lake is well known for being salty, but record-low water levels driven by high water usage and several years of drought may soon make it too salty for even the brine ...

However, when we examine how these ecosystems are responding to the changing conditions, then predictions look very different," Malone said. The researchers discovered that the ecosystems are ...
