Jack-of-all-trades effects drive biodiversity–ecosystem multifunctionality relationships in European forests

How biodiversity is linked to multiple ecosystem functions is not fully understood. Here, the authors show that a new mechanism, which they term the 'jack-of-all-trades' effect, best explains patterns of tree diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in European forests.
