Study published on methods to measure forest multifunction­ality

In this study we developed standardized methods to measure forest multifunctionality within the framework of Biodiversity–Ecosystem Functioning (BEF) research. Methods for the assessment of multiple ecosystem functions are described and discussed with focus on their practicability and challenges that have been encountered in their application.
