Species contributions to ecosystem process and function can be population dependent and modified by biotic and abiotic setting.

Abstract excerpt

There is unequivocal evidence that altered biodiversity, through changes in the expression and distribution of functional traits, can have large impacts on ecosystem properties. However, trait-based summaries of how organisms affect ecosystem properties often assume that traits show constancy within and between populations and that species contributions to ecosystem functioning are not overly affected by the...
