DESCRIPTION:Biodiversity-ecosystem function research has conclusively shown
  that the diversity of an ecosystem can affect its capacity to function an
 d provide ecosystem services. However\, the underlying causes of these rel
 ationships are often poorly understood and the capacity for species richne
 ss to explain ecosystem function outside of experiments appears limited. I
 n this talk I will demonstrate how more mechanistic trait-based approaches
  that scale the functional traits of individual plants to the community ca
 n effectively explain ecosystem function. Examples will be drawn from a ra
 nge of experiments and observational studies conducted in grassland\, urba
 n and heathland ecosystems. I will also highlight several challenges that 
 this approach must overcome before showing how it may be used to inform fu
 ture environmental management.
