TL;DR: The authors conducted standardized sampling in 48 herbaceous-dominated plant communities on five continents and found no clear relationship between productivity and fine-scale (meters−2) richness within sites, within regions, or across the globe.

Bottom-Up Effects and Feedbacks in Simple and Diverse Experimental Grassland Communities
Jasmin Joshi,S. J. Otway,Julia Koricheva,A. B. Pfisterer,Jörn Alphei,B. A. Roy,Michael Scherer-Lorenzen,Bernhard Schmid,Eva Spehn,Andy Hector +9 more
TL;DR: Experimental additions of a generalist insect herbivore and a plant hemiparasitic species showed that some polyphagous groups within higher trophic levels can benefit from increased diversity not only from the higher quantity, but also by the higher variety of resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology: Diversity favours productivity
TL;DR: A study of algal communities in artificial streams suggests that habitats with more species take greater advantage of the niche opportunities in an environment than do less-species-rich habitats, allowing the more diverse systems to capture a greater fraction of biologically active resources such as nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse marsh plant communities are more consistently productive across a range of different environmental conditions through functional complementarity
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that loss of vegetation diversity reduces the average biomass production across a range of environmental conditions and emphasizes the importance of maintaining species-rich biotic assemblages, especially in the face of global change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do the rich get richer? Varying effects of tree species identity and diversity on the richness of understory taxa

TL;DR: The results suggest that changes in forest management will disproportionately affect certain understory taxa and that maintaining high diversity in temperate forests can promote the diversity of multiple taxa in the understory.
