TL;DR: Biodiversity mainly stabilizes ecosystem productivity, and productivity-dependent ecosystem services, by increasing resistance to climate events, and restoration of biodiversity to increase it, mainly by changing the resistance of ecosystem productivity toClimate events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity, productivity and the temporal stability of productivity: patterns and processes.
TL;DR: It was found that productivity was less variable among years in plots planted with more species, and temporal stability did not depend on whether the species were planted equally abundant or not, and species interactions can promote biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of increasing plant diversity in sustainable agroecosystems
Forest Isbell,Paul R. Adler,Nico Eisenhauer,Dario A. Fornara,Kaitlin Kimmel,Claire Kremen,Deborah K. Letourneau,Matt Liebman,H. Wayne Polley,Sandra Quijas,Michael Scherer-Lorenzen +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the potential benefits of increasing plant diversity in natural ecosystems, as well as in agroecosystems and production forests, is presented and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear grassland responses to past and future atmospheric CO 2
Richard A. Gill,Richard A. Gill,H. Wayne Polley,Hyrum B. Johnson,Laurel J. Anderson,Laurel J. Anderson,Hafiz Maherali,Robert B. Jackson +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that soil carbon storage and nitrogen cycling in a grassland ecosystem are much more responsive to increases in past Ca than to those forecast for the coming century and the ability of soils to continue as sinks is limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness and the temporal stability of biomass production: A new analysis of recent biodiversity experiments
Kevin Gross,Bradley J. Cardinale,Jeremy W. Fox,Andrew Gonzalez,Michel Loreau,H. Wayne Polley,Peter B. Reich,Peter B. Reich,Jasper van Ruijven +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that for both grasslands and algae, temporal correlations in species biomass are lower when species are grown together in polyculture than when grown alone in monoculture, suggesting that interspecific interactions tend to stabilize community biomass in diverse communities.
