TL;DR: In this article, a systematic untargeted metabolite profiling on a number of herbs derived from a grassland biodiversity experiment (Jena Experiment) was performed to gain deeper insights into the physiological responses of individual plant species to increasing plant diversity.

TL;DR: It is argued that N availability and the availability of photosynthate both regulate storage and allocation of biomass to optimize resource utilization, but achieve this via different mechanisms through different mechanisms.

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.

TL;DR: The authors measured tree transpiration in 28, 67, 204 and 383 -year old uniform stands and in a multi-cohort stand (140 t0 430) of Pinus sylvestris ssp. sibirica Lebed in Central Siberia during August of 1995.
