	abstract = {Functional traits of organisms can serve as tools for predicting and
	quantifying ecosystem
	
	service delivery in response to biodiversity loss. We collected published
	studies (~250)
	
	proving effects of functional traits on various ecosystem services,
	and the underlying
	
	ecosystem processes, across different trophic levels. The majority
	of studies considered plants
	
	and soil invertebrates, but relationships have been documented for
	a range of other organisms
	
	and habitats. Within each trophic level, specific processes and services
	are affected by a
	
	combination of traits. At the same time, particular traits are involved
	simultaneously in the
	
	control of different processes, resulting in predictable clusters
	of traits and services. Particular
	
	associations were shown between traits of plants and soil organisms
	that underlie ecosystem
	
	nutrient economy, herbivory control and fodder and fibre production.
	The review
	
	demonstrates the potential for integrating the functional traits approach
	into predictive models
	
	of ecosystem services and providing a common currency for multiple
	service delivery
	
	assessments.},

	abstract = {Birds are one of the most diverse groups of ecosystem service providers,
	whose ecological functions range from creating soil to shaping primate
	behavior, Nevertheless, the impression that birds have little influence
	on ecological processes has been hard to change. Given the ongoing
	declines in avian functional groups, there is a pressing need to
	compare avian ecological functions to those of other taxa, to understand
	how these functions translate to ecosystem services and to estimate
	the ecological implications of bird declines. Here, I review the
	ecological functions of birds, link them to ecosystem services and
	outline research priorities for understanding avian contributions
	to ecosystem functioning.},
