Abstract

The aim of this project is to explore the functional significance of biological diversity, especially to allow interpretation of shifts in diversity due to charges in the global climate or other anthropogenic disturbance factors. The objectives are: a) identify ecosystem promesses which depend on diversity b) analyse the relationship between diversity and stability, resistance and resilience c) assess climate change as disturbance factor in systems of different complexity.
