Background/Question/Methods
Biodiversity determines the functioning of ecosystems, but there is some significant context-dependency in the strength and direction of this relationship.
Results/Conclusions
Recent evidence suggests that positive biodiversity effects are strongest in heterogeneous environments, when the complementarity of different taxa can unfold. We discuss the implications of this finding across systems and disciplines.
