Biodiversity and thermal ecological function: The influence of freshwater algal diversity on local thermal environments
Abstract
The varied influences of biodiversity on ecosystem functions and properties, and the abiotic components of these systems, are well studied (Cardinale et al., 2012; Naeem, Duffy, & Zavaleta, 2012; Tilman, Isbell, & Cowles, 2014). The local thermal environment-most frequently measured as air, water, or soil temperature-which can be considered an ecosystem-level property, however, has largely been treated as the result of extrinsic or abiotic factors such as climate, special attention being devoted to the impacts of changing temperature on biodiversity, and ecosystem properties in the face of recent, unprecedented changes in climate (IPCC, 2014). Temperature's effect on ecosystem functioning and biodiversity has been investigated: most notably, the effect of temperature change on individ
