TL;DR: This article conducted a standardized sampling in 48 herbaceous-dominated plant communities on five continents and found no clear relationship between productivity and fine-scale (meters−2) richness within sites, within regions, or across the globe.

TL;DR: It is found that an integrative model has substantially higher explanatory power than traditional bivariate analyses and several surprising findings that conflict with classical models are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use intensification reduces functional redundancy and response diversity in plant communities
Etienne Laliberté,Jessie A. Wells,Fabrice DeClerck,Daniel J. Metcalfe,Carla Catterall,Cibele Queiroz,Isabelle Aubin,Stephen P. Bonser,Yi Ding,Jennifer M. Fraterrigo,Sean McNamara,John W. Morgan,Dalia Sanchez Merlos,Peter A. Vesk,Margaret M. Mayfield +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how land-use change impacts functional redundancy and response diversity in plant communities, using data from 18 landuse intensity gradients that represent five biomes and > 2800 species.
Land-use intensification reduces functionalredundancy and response diversity in plantcommunities
Etienne Laliberté,Jessie A. Wells,Fabrice DeClerck,Daniel J. Metcalfe,Carla Catterall,Cibele Queiroz,Isabelle Aubin,Stephen P. Bonser,Yi Ding,Jennifer M. Fraterrigo,Sean McNamara,John W. Morgan,Dalia Sanchez Merlos,Peter A. Vesk,Margaret M. Mayfield +14 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that intensified management of ecosystems for resource extraction can increase their vulnerability to future disturbances, although specific relationships varied considerably among the different land-use gradients.

TL;DR: In this paper, by integrating the predictions from multiple theories into a single model and using data from 1,126 grassland plots spanning five continents, the authors detect the clear signals of numerous underlying mechanisms linking productivity and richness.
