1 INTRODUCTION In our era of rapid global change, restoring ecosystems based on sound ecological principles is critical (Leadley et al., 2022), making it essential to understand the drivers of ecosystem functions and services in the context of restoration (Díaz et al., 2013; Larkin et al., 2023).

AbstractPlant diversity effects on community productivity often increase over time. Whether the strengthening of diversity effects is caused by temporal shifts in species-level overyielding (i.e., higher species-level productivity in diverse communities compared with monocultures) remains unclear.

The rate and extent of global biodiversity change is surpassing our ability to measure, monitor and forecast trends. We propose an interconnected worldwide system of observation networks — a global biodiversity observing system (GBiOS) — to coordinate monitoring worldwide and inform action to reach international biodiversity targets. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF) provides a vision for living in harmony with nature that will have lasting benefits for humanity1.
