Network architecture across trophic levels governs ecosystem multifunctionality in subtropical riparian soils

Key Points

• Ecosystem multifunctionality is influenced by the structure of network architecture across various trophic levels.
• The study highlights that different trophic levels play unique roles in maintaining ecosystem functionality.
• Assessment of ecosystem health shows a strong correlation between network complexity and multifunctionality indicators.
• Understanding these connections calls for further exploration to conserve and restore subtropical ecosystems.
