Why biodiversity is important to the functioning of real‐world ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address some of the persistent criticisms regarding experimental BEF research and argue that these have been overstated, contrary to some suggestions, many putative artifacts attributed to experiments render their conclusions about BEF links stronger, rather than weaker.

TL;DR: The first results from a large biodiversity experiment in a subtropical forest in China suggest strong positive effects of tree diversity on forest productivity and carbon accumulation, and encourage multispecies afforestation strategies to restore biodiversity and mitigate climate change.

TL;DR: F afforestation policies in this region and elsewhere should consider a change from the current focus on monocultures to multi-species plantations to increase C fixation and thus slow increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global warming.

Herbivores and the Number of Tree Species in Tropical Forests
TL;DR: Any event that increases the efficiency of the predators at eating seeds and seedlings of a given tree species may lead to a reduction in population density of the adults of that species and/or to increased distance between new adults and their parents.

The Nonconcept of Species Diversity: A Critique and Alternative Parameters.
TL;DR: It is suggested that species diversity has become a meaningless concept, that the term be abandoned, and that ecologists take a more critical approach to species-number relations and rely less on information theoretic and other analogies.
