TL;DR: Niche complementarity and positive species interactions appear to play a role in generating diversity-productivity relationships within sites in addition to sampling from the species pool.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a multisite analysis of the relationship between plant diversity and ecosystem functioning within the European BIODEPTH network of plant-diversity manipulation experiments, showing that communities with a higher diversity of species and functional groups were more productive and utilized resources more completely by intercepting more light, taking up more nitrogen, and occupying more of the available space.

Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation analysis of upland Burren grasslands of conservation interest.
TL;DR: Parr et al. as mentioned in this paper performed a vegetation analysis of upland Burren grasslands of conservation interest and found that the majority of the grassland species were of conservation importance.
