Investigating the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality: Challenges and solutions
Jarrett E. K. Byrnes,Lars Gamfeldt,Forest Isbell,Jonathan S. Lefcheck,John N. Griffin,Andy Hector,Bradley J. Cardinale,David U. Hooper,Laura E. Dee,J. Emmett Duffy +9 more
TL;DR: An extension of the fourth approach that systematically explores all possible threshold values provides the most comprehensive description of multifunctionality to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper analyzed diversity-stability relationships from 41 grasslands on five continents and examined how these relationships are affected by chronic fertilization, one of the strongest drivers of species loss globally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Niklaus,Bernhard Schmid +68 more
TL;DR: The first results from a large biodiversity experiment in a subtropical forest in China suggest strong positive effects of tree diversity on forest productivity and carbon accumulation, and encourage multispecies afforestation strategies to restore biodiversity and mitigate climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of legumes as a component of biodiversity in a cross‐European study of grassland biomass nitrogen
Eva Spehn,Michael Scherer-Lorenzen,Bernhard Schmid,Andy Hector,Maria C. Caldeira,Panayiotis G. Dimitrakopoulos,John A. Finn,Ari Jumpponen,G. O'donnovan,João Pereira,Ernst Detlef Schulze,Andreas Y. Troumbis,Ch. Körner +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the consequences of species loss on the nitrogen budget of plant communities may be more severe if legume species are lost, and there is indication that P availability in the soil facilitates the legume effect on biomass production and biomass nitrogen accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought survival of tropical tree seedlings enhanced by non-structural carbohydrate levels
Michael O'Brien,Sebastian Leuzinger,Christopher D. Philipson,John Tay,Andy Hector,Andy Hector +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides direct experimental evidence that greater non-structural carbohydrate concentrations before drought help maintain hydraulic function and thereby prolong drought tolerance in seedlings of ten tropical tree species.
