On the uniqueness of functional redundancy
Functional redundancy is being considered as a key component of biodiversity, potentially associated with the ability of ecosystems to buffer environmental perturbations. Redundancy is possible when species are similar in some features but dissimilar in others. For instance the loss or decrease of nitrogen-fixing species, e.g. due to environmental perturbations, can be partially compensated by […]
