Overyielding in experimental grassland communities - irrespective of species pool or spatial scale

TL;DR: It is suggested that scaling up, at least over the short term, is appropriate in interpreting the implications of such experiments for larger-scale patterns and both complementarity and selection effects contributed to the positive net biodiversity effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in a 15-year grassland experiment: Patterns, mechanisms, and open questions

TL;DR: The results from the Jena Experiment provide further evidence that diversity begets stability, for example stability against invasion of plant species, but unexpectedly some results also suggested the opposite, e.g. when plant communities experience severe perturbations or elevated resource availability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase in transgenic tobacco transformed with ‘antisense’ rbcS

TL;DR: It is argued that there is a “luxury” additional investment of nitrogen into Rubisco in tobacco plants grown in high nitrogen, and that Rubisco can also be considered a nitrogen-store, all be it one where the opportunity cost of the nitrogen storage is higher than in a non-functional storage protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Storage and stability of organic carbon in soils as related to depth, occlusion within aggregates, and attachment to minerals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply den- sity fractionation to study the relevance of stability of organic carbon (OC) in aggregates and in association with min- erals, but it has rarely been applied to full soil profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using Plant Functional Traits to Explain Diversity–Productivity Relationships

TL;DR: The results suggest that the identification of relevant traits and the relative impacts of functional identity of dominant species and functional diversity are essential for a mechanistic understanding of the role of plant diversity for ecosystem processes such as aboveground biomass production.
