| Abstract | Re-analyzing data from our study, Bruun & Ejrnaes (2022) show that key species to productivity are more abundant than species threatened by extinction. They therefore conclude that biodiversity loss hardly hampers ecosystem processes. Acknowledging the validity of the findings, we clarify why we believe their conclusions are drawn too far. |
