The questions Does land use intensification reduce functional diversity? Does it matter? What about response diversity and/or ecological redundancy? … if yes, erosion of ecosystem function, and resilience to environmental change.

Flynn et al. Ecology Letters (2009) 12:22-33 DeClerck NCEAS DGS Does land use intensification reduce functional diversity?

Ecological redundancy Redundancy = number of species within a functional group High redundancy = high resilience to environmental change Why? compensatory responses Functional groups 1 to 6 Group 6: higher redundancy & resilience Group 6: lower redundancy & resilience

a) Species in effect trait space b) Functional effect groups Natural Semi-natural Low-intensity agricultural High-intensity agricultural c) Species in each land use e) Spearman ρ between land use intensity and response diversity Response diversity Land use intensity ρ = -0.9 d) Functional dispersion (response diversity) for each effect group in each land use Effect size for meta-analysis

r = p = Redundancy decreases with land use intensification

Conclusions Land use intensification leads to lower functional diversity, function and redundancy Can agroforestry sytstems be better managed to maintain this functional diversity and redundnacy? Can we eco-engineer agroforestry system with multifunctionality, and multifunctional redundancy?
