DESCRIPTION:Entering the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration\, large knowle
 dge gaps persist on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
  in cash crop dominated tropical landscapes. Here\, we present findings fr
 om a large-scale\, five-year ecosystem restoration experiment in an oil pa
 lm landscape enriched with 52 tree islands\, encompassing assessments of t
 en indicators of biodiversity and 19 indicators of ecosystem functioning. 
 Tree enrichment enhanced multidiversity by 250% and ecosystem multifunctio
 nality by 75% compared to conventional monocultures. Therein\, larger tree
  islands led to higher multidiversity and multifunctionality gains via cha
 nges in vegetation structure. Tree enrichment did not significantly decrea
 se landscape-scale oil palm yield. Our results demonstrate that enriching 
 oil palm dominated landscapes with tree islands is a promising ecological 
 restoration strategy.\n\n
