Understanding ecosystem functioning has been a main focus of ecological studies due to its importance for the maintenance of ecosystem integrity and human livelihood. While identi‐ fying and measuring relevant ecosystem functions may be a seemingly straightforward task, isolating the biota responsible for the provision of a particular function is far more complicated. In this context, understanding how biota influence ecosystem functioning remains a very active area of research in ecology, known as Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function (BEF) [1]. Given the accelerating rates of biodiversity loss [2] and predicted increases in the intensity and duration of extreme climate events [3], understanding how species interact to provide ecosystem functions is crucial for anticipating change as well as for establishing appropriate biodiversity buffers in order to minimize the risk of functional loss and maintain ecosystem integrity.
