Modern causal inference approaches to investigate biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships
Detecting and quantifying the causal relations of ecosystem functioning is a challenging endeavor. A global study on grasslands illustrates how reasoning about underlying assumptions, from confounding and nonlinearity to fundamental questions of determinism, is key to unlocking the potential of mode...
