Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity-dependent production can decrease the stability of ecosystem functioning
A. B. Pfisterer,Bernhard Schmid +1 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that biodiversity increases biomass production, but the results also point to the fact that such diversity–production associations may lead to an inverse relationship between biodiversity and the stability of ecosystem functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of nutrient availability on biomass allocation patterns in 27 species of herbaceous plants
TL;DR: In most of the species that changed allocation in response to the nutrient treatment, these changes were largely a consequence of plant size, indicating that natural selection has resulted in allometric strategies rather than plastic responses to nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of species richness on productivity in a large-scale subtropical forest experiment.

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
Plant species richness and functional composition drive overyielding in a six‐year grassland experiment
Elisabeth Marquard,Elisabeth Marquard,Alexandra Weigelt,Vicky M. Temperton,Christiane Roscher,Jens Schumacher,Nina Buchmann,Markus Fischer,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Bernhard Schmid +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that transgressive overyielding between functional groups and species richness effects within functional groups caused the positive biodiversity effects on aboveground community biomass in the large-scale biodiversity experiment near Jena, Germany.
