However, whether there is synchronisation of these strategies at the entire community level is unclear. Here, we combine trait data for 2800 above- and belowground taxa from 14 trophic guilds spanning a disturbance and resource availability gradient in German grasslands. The results indicate that most guilds consistently respond to these drivers through both direct and trophically mediated effects, resulting in a 'slow-fast' axis at the level of the entire community. Using 15 indicators of carbon and nutrient fluxes, biomass production and decomposition, we also show that fast trait communities are associated with faster rates of ecosystem functioning. These findings demonstrate that 'slow' and 'fast' strategies can be manifested at the level of whole communities, opening new avenues of ecosystem-level functional classification.}, language = {en} } @misc{BoetzlSponslerAlbrechtetal., author = {Boetzl, Fabian and Sponsler, Douglas and Albrecht, Matthias and Bat{\´a}ry, P{\´e}ter and Birkhofer, Klaus and Knapp, Michal and Krauss, Jochen and Maas, Bea and Martin, Emily A. and Sirami, Cl{\´e}lia and Sutter, Louis and Bertrand, Colette and Baillod, Aliette and Bota, Gerard and Bretagnolle, Vincent and Brotons, Llu{\´i}s and Frank, Thomas and Fusser, Moritz and Giralt, David and Gonz{\´a}lez, Ezequiel and Hof, Anouschka and Luka, Henryk and Marrec, Ronan and Nash, Michael and Ng, Katherina and Plantegenest, Manuel and Poulin, Brigitte and Siriwardena, Gavin and Zubair-Anjum, Muhammad and Entling, Martin and Steffan-Dewenter, Ingolf and Schirmel, Jens}, title = {Distance functions of carabids in crop fields depend on functional traits, crop type and adjacent habitat: a synthesis}, series = {Proceedings Royal Society.
