Abstract
Predicting the resilience of biodiversity-driven functions in agroecosystems to drivers of environmental change (EC) is of critical importance to ensure long-term and environmentally safe agricultural production. However, operationalizing resilience of such functions is challenging, because conceptual approaches differ, direct measures are difficult, and the validity and interpretation of existing indicators are unclear. Here, we (1) summarize dimensions of resilience that apply in agroecosystems, and the disturbances they are subject to under EC. We then (2) review indicators of the resilience of biodiversity-driven functions in agroecosystems, and their support in theoretical and empirical studies. (3) Using these indicators, we examine what can be learned for the resilience of these functions to drivers of EC, focussing on the ecosystem services of biological pest control, biological disease control in soil and pollination. We conclude (4) that research into the resilience of these services is still in its infancy, but novel tools and approaches can catalyse further steps to assess and improve the resilience of biodiversity-driven agroecosystem functions under EC.
