TL;DR: It is suggested that species origin has functional significance, and that eutrophication will lead to increased exotic dominance in grasslands.
PERSPECTIVE Coexistence, niches and biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning
TL;DR: A resource-based included-niche model in which plant species have asymmetric access to a nested set of belowground resource pools is developed, showing that positive complementarity effects arise from stabilising niche differences, but do not necessarily lead to stable coexistence and hence can be transient.

Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation implications of the link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
TL;DR: This work argues that the link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is an important additional argument for conservation for several reasons, and is moving to a scientific position based on accumulating experimental evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest
Martin Barrufol,Bernhard Schmid,Helge Bruelheide,Xiulian Chi,Andy Hector,Keping Ma,Stefan G. Michalski,Zhiyao Tang,Pascal A. Niklaus +8 more
TL;DR: The biodiversity effects reported exceed those from experimental studies, sample surveys and meta-analyses, suggesting that subtropical tree diversity is an important driver of forest productivity and re-growth after disturbance that supports the provision of ecological services by these ecosystems.
