Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that 84% of the 147 grassland plant species studied in 17 biodiversity experiments promoted ecosystem functioning at least once, and many species are needed to maintain multiple functions at multiple times and places in a changing world.
Journal ArticleDOI

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
Limiting and realizable efficiencies of solar photolysis of water
TL;DR: A critical analysis of various schemes for the solar photolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen places ideal limits on their efficiencies as discussed by the authors, and the prospects of higher efficiencies from dual-bandgap schemes are encouraging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designs for greenhouse studies of interactions between plants
TL;DR: Designs for greenhouse studies of interactions between plants are reviewed and recommendations for their use are provided, showing the replacement series design to be the most popular, especially in studying crop–weed interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of allergenic pollen by ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is increased in CO2-enriched atmospheres
TL;DR: The results suggest that there may be significant increases in exposure to allergenic pollen under the present scenarios of global warming, and further studies may enable public health groups to more accurately evaluate the future risks of hay fever and respiratory diseases exacerbated by allergen pollen.
