TL;DR: The differential effects of plant diversity on the various types of ecosystem processes indicate that future research and political effort should shift from a general debate about whether biodiversity loss impairs ecosystem functions to focussing on the specific functions of interest and ways to preserve them individually or in combination.
Journal ArticleDOI
A trait-based experimental approach to understand the mechanisms underlying biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships
Anne Ebeling,Sven Pompe,Sven Pompe,Jussi Baade,Nico Eisenhauer,Helmut Hillebrand,Raphaël Proulx,Christiane Roscher,Bernhard Schmid,Christian Wirth,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Wolfgang W. Weisser +11 more
TL;DR: The theoretical background, design and first results of the ‘Trait-Based Biodiversity Experiment’ (TBE), established in 2010, are provided that directly manipulates the trait composition of experimental plant communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global leaf nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry and their scaling exponent
Di Tian,Di Tian,Zhengbing Yan,Karl J. Niklas,Wenxuan Han,Jens Kattge,Peter B. Reich,Peter B. Reich,Yongkai Luo,Yahan Chen,Zhiyao Tang,Huifeng Hu,Ian J. Wright,Bernhard Schmid,Jingyun Fang +14 more
TL;DR: The global overall mean leaf N and P concentrations were 18.9 mg and 1.2 mg g−1, respectively, with significantly higher concentrations in herbaceous than woody plants as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between productivity, number of shoots and number of species in bryophytes and vascular plants
TL;DR: It was concluded that a bryophyte favourability gradient existed along which biomass and shoot and species density increased, and that stands of low vascular plant production are those with the potential for highest species richness, and should therefore receive conservation priority.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying population- and community-level mechanisms of diversity–stability relationships in experimental grasslands
Christiane Roscher,Alexandra Weigelt,Raphaël Proulx,Elisabeth Marquard,Jens Schumacher,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Bernhard Schmid +6 more
TL;DR: Diversity–stability relationships are driven by fluctuations in the population biomass of individual species which are less synchronized in more diverse than in less diverse mixtures and monocultures, resulting in higher temporal stability at the plant community level.
