A research team led by the Pablo de Olavide University investigated the changes in the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystem during millions of years of ecosystem development. The study published by Nature Communications advances our knowledge of the natural history of terrestrial ecosystems, and resolves one of the major unsettled questions in ecology: What are the major drivers of ecosystem structure and function at the global scale?
