摘      要：Worldwide,forests provide habitat for a large diversity of plants,animals and *** the same time,forest ecosystems are essential providers of multiple ecosystem services important for human ***,the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has only been little researched in forests and therefore its role for the functioning of forest ecosystems and their services is not yet *** results from comparable studies in other ecosystems are considered(*** et al.2006),it is conceivable that diverse forests would,for example,grow faster,produce more biomass,store more carbon and better maintain soil fertility and plant-insect interactions and functional stability than less diverse forests or monoculture tree *** hypothesis that biodiversity increases and stabilizes interactions and functions is the common theme of the papers in the present issue of the Journal of Plant Ecology.
