DESCRIPTION:Assessment of ecosystem functioning and functional diversity ar
 e mainly done by definition of biodiversity variables\, planetary boundari
 es or ecosystem services. We propose the use of satellite-derived Ecosyste
 m Functional Types (EFTs\, i.e.\, land surface patches with similar dynami
 cs of matter and energy exchange between biota and physical environments) 
 to incorporate ecosystem functional heterogeneity at regional scale in eco
 logy and conservation. The concept of EFT is equivalent to the Plant Funct
 ional Types (PFT) but applied to a higher level of biological organization
 . Like plant species can be grouped based on functional features (e.g. gro
 wth rates\, nitrogen fixation)\, ecosystems can be grouped based on their 
 functional dynamics (e.g. productivity\, seasonality and phenology). Empir
 ically\, EFTs have been identified using remote sensing mainly through spe
 ctral indices related to carbon dynamics but also considering evapotranspi
 ration\, surface temperature\, and albedo. EFTs classify ecosystems accord
 ing to their functioning\, distinguishing classes of homogeneous annual dy
 namics in the relevant land surface spectral properties. Thanks to their t
 op-down characterization\, EFTs have been used to\, e.g.\, describe large-
 scale functional biogeographical patterns\, to assess the effects of land-
 use changes on ecosystem functioning and diversity or to improve weather f
 orecasting models. We are now evaluating the potential of EFTs to assess e
 cosystem functional diversity in the Arctic Tundra within the NASA&rsquo\;
 s GEOBON program.\n&nbsp\;\nInvited by Carl Beierkuhnlein\, Biogeography
