Low redundancy and complementarity shape ecosystem functioning in a low‐diversity ecosystem

Ecosystem functioning is positively linked to biodiversity on land and in the sea. In high‐diversity systems (e.g. coral reefs), species coexist by sharing resources and providing similar functions at different temporal or spatial scales. How species combine to deliver the ecological function they provide is pivotal for maintaining the structure, functioning and resilience of some ecosystems, but the significance of this is rarely examined in...
