A large body of research shows that biodiversity loss can reduce ecosystem functioning.
However, much of the evidence for this relationship is drawn from biodiversity–ecosystem …

Ecology Letters (2009) 12: 1405–1419 Abstract The global decline of biodiversity caused by
human domination of ecosystems worldwide is supposed to alter important process rates …

An enormous recent research effort focused on how plant biodiversity (notably species
richness) influences ecosystem functioning, usually through experiments in which diversity …

In a growing body of literature from a variety of ecosystems is strong evidence that various
components of biodiversity have significant impacts on ecosystem functioning. However …

In a recent Forum paper, Wardle (Journal of Vegetation Science, 2016) questions the value
of biodiversity–ecosystem function (BEF) experiments with respect to their implications for …

We present a multisite analysis of the relationship between plant diversity and ecosystem
functioning within the European BIODEPTH network of plant‐diversity manipulation …

The importance of biodiversity for the integrated functioning of ecosystems remains unclear
because most evidence comes from analyses of biodiversity's effect on individual functions …

Many experiments have shown that biodiversity enhances ecosystem functioning. However,
we have little understanding of how environmental heterogeneity shapes the effect of …

The effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning generally increase over time, but the
underlying processes remain unclear. Using 26 long-term grassland and forest experimental …

The implementation of ecosystem models relating biodiversity to ecosystem functioning
requires empirically derived parameter values. We assemble and summarize these …
