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.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/230e8aa823f6a8673019de88202195ad6/bioenergyworkshopbioenergyworkshop2008-05-21T14:32:55+02:00agri-environmental_schemes biological_control biodiversity pathogen gradient life-history habitat tropics Nadrowski_K host-plant traits arbuscular_mycorrhizal_fungi plant-insect_interactions <span style="color:#555555;">T. <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Tscharntke">Tscharntke</a> und R. <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Bommarco">Bommarco</a> und Y. <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Clough">Clough</a> und T.

The species pool in the surrounding landscape and the distance of crop from natural habitat are important for the conservation of enemy diversity and, in particular, the conservation of poorly-dispersing and specialized enemies. Hence, structurally complex landscapes with hi,gh habitat connectivity may enhance the probability of pest regulation. In contrast, generalist and highly vagile enemies may even A p rofit from the high primary productivity of crops at a landscape scale and their abundance may partly compensate for losses in enemy diversity. Conservation biological control also needs a multitrophic perspective. For example, entomopathogenic fungi, plant pathogens and endophytes as well as below- and above-ground microorganisms are known to influence pest-enemy interactions in ways that vary across spatiotemporal scales. Enemy distribution in agricultural landscapes is determined by beta diversity among patches. The diversity needed for conservation biological control may occur where patch heterogeneity at larger spatial scales is high. However, enemy communities in managed systems are more similar across space and time than those in natural systems, emphasizing the importance of natural habitat for a spillover of diverse enemies. According to the insurance hypothesis, species richness can buffer against spatiotemporal disturbances, thereby insuring functioning in changing environments. Seemingly redundant enemy species may become important under global change. Complex landscapes characterized by highly connected crop-noncrop mosaics may be best for long-term conservation biological control and sustainable crop production, but experimental evidence for detailed recommendations to design the composition and configuration of agricultural landscapes that maintain a diversity of generalist and specialist natural enemies is still needed.
