Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTEs) are among the global biodiversity hotspots most vulnerable to multiple factors of global change, such as climate warming and elevated atmospheric CO2. Global change is likely to exacerbate current ecosystem degradation in MTEs, with severe consequences for the long-term provision of multiple ecosystem services on which people depend, such as carbon sequestration, water and nutrient supply. Ecological restoration is increasingly aimed at counteracting the decline and improving the long-term provision of multiple ecosystem services. For successful restoration, however, ecologists require a fundamental understanding of the link between vegetation composition, related functions and services, and influencing ...
