Herbivores and nutrients control grassland plant diversity via light limitation

Elizabeth T. Borer, +55 more
- 24 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that herbaceous plant species losses caused by eutrophication may be offset by increased light availability due to herbivory demonstrates that nutrients and herbivores can serve as counteracting forces to control local plant diversity through light limitation, independent of site productivity, soil nitrogen, herbivore type and climate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Productivity Is a Poor Predictor of Plant Species Richness

Peter B. Adler, +59 more
- 23 Sep 2011 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eutrophication weakens stabilizing effects of diversity in natural grasslands

TL;DR: This paper analyzed diversity-stability relationships from 41 grasslands on five continents and examined how these relationships are affected by chronic fertilization, one of the strongest drivers of species loss globally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local loss and spatial homogenization of plant diversity reduce ecosystem multifunctionality

Yann Hautier, +44 more
TL;DR: Analysis of 65 grasslands worldwide from the Nutrient Network experiment reveals that plant communities with higher α- and β-diversity have higher levels of ecosystem multifunctionality, and that this effect is amplified across scales.
