Competition for light causes plant biodiversity loss after eutrophication

TL;DR: Using experimental grassland plant communities, it is found that addition of light to the grassland understory prevented the loss of biodiversity caused by eutrophication, and there was no detectable role for competition for soil resources in diversity loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity increases the resistance of ecosystem productivity to climate extremes

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

Herbivores and nutrients control grassland plant diversity via light limitation

Elizabeth T. Borer, +55 more

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.

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.
