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.

Impacts of species richness on productivity in a large-scale subtropical forest experiment.

Yuanyuan Huang, +68 more
- 05 Oct 2018 - 
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.

Helge Bruelheide, +184 more
TL;DR: The sPlot database as mentioned in this paper contains 1,121,244 vegetation plots, which comprise 23,586,216 records of plant species and their relative cover or abundance in plots collected worldwide between 1885 and 2015.

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.

Stuart H. Hurlbert
- 01 Jul 1971 - 
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.

Predicting changes in community composition and ecosystem functioning from plant traits: revisiting the Holy Grail

TL;DR: A framework using concepts and results from community ecology, ecosystem ecology and evolutionary biology to provide a linkage between traits associated with the response of plants to environmental factors and traits that determine effects of plants on ecosystem functions is presented.
