Abstract
Maximizing more ecosystem functions may require more species. This relationship results from imperfect correlations among ecosystem functions because species contribute differently to each function. These correlations among species contributions to functions and the extent of interspecific competition are crucial when determining how many species are necessary to maximize additional functionality.Keywords: biodiversity; ecosystem function; ecosystem service; interspecific competition; multifunctionality
