TL;DR: Reliable quantification of the leaf economics spectrum and its interaction with climate will prove valuable for modelling nutrient fluxes and vegetation boundaries under changing land-use and climate.

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
Above-ground resource use increases with plant species richness in experimental grassland ecosystems
TL;DR: It is shown that with increasing diversity, mixtures perform better than the best monoculture, a strong indication that part of the positive effect of diversity on biomass production is driven by complementary resource use.
