TL;DR: In this article , the authors leveraged longitudinal data from 43 grasslands in 11 countries and approaches borrowed from fields outside of ecology to draw causal inferences from observational data and showed that increases in plot-level species richness caused productivity to decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth rates and relative change in non-structural carbohydrates of dipterocarp seedlings in response to light acclimation

TL;DR: The results show that a generalist species is unique based on its response of NSC concentration to a gap opening, and emphasise that the ecology of these species needs to be further studied in the context of their physiology to support their effective use in large-scale forest restoration efforts.

TL;DR: No clear relationship between productivity and fine-scale (meters−2) richness within sites, within regions, or across the globe is found, and ecologists should focus on fresh, mechanistic approaches to understanding the multivariate links between productivity
