Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat destruction and the extinction debt
TL;DR: A model is described that explains multispecies coexistence in patchy habitats and which predicts that their abundance may be fleeting, a future ecological cost of current habitat destruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and productivity in a long-term grassland experiment
TL;DR: These results help resolve debate over biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, show effects at higher than expected diversity levels, and demonstrate, for these ecosystems, that even the best-chosen monocultures cannot achieve greater productivity or carbon stores than higher-diversity sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon-Negative Biofuels from Low-Input High-Diversity Grassland Biomass
TL;DR: Low-input high-diversity mixtures of native grassland perennials can provide more usable energy, greater greenhouse gas reductions, and less agrichemical pollution per hectare than can corn grain ethanol or soybean biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant diversity and ecosystem productivity: theoretical considerations.
TL;DR: Three simple models of interspecific competitive interactions in communities containing various numbers of randomly chosen species predict that, on average, productivity increases asymptotically with the original biodiversity of a community and show that both species identity and biodiversity simultaneously influence ecosystem functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity, Stability, and Productivity in Competitive Communities
Clarence Lehman,David Tilman +1 more
TL;DR: This theory provides a degree of resolution to the diversity‐stability debate: both sides of the longstanding debate were correct, but one addressed population stability and the other addressed community stability.
