The relationship between net primary productivity and biological diversity has been a central
topic in ecology for several decades. The unimodal (“hump‐back”) relationship has been the …

The relationship between biodiversity and habitat productivity has been a fundamental topic
in ecology. Although the relationship between these parameters may exhibit different …

For more than 30 years, the relationship between net primary productivity and species
richness has generated intense debate in ecology about the processes regulating local …

Biogeographical studies frequently reveal positive correlations between species richness
and estimates of environmental water and/or energy. A popular interpretation of this …

Plant species richness of permanent grasslands has often been found to be significantly
associated with productivity. Concentrations of nutrients in biomass can give further insight …

Understanding the processes that drive the dramatic changes in biodiversity along the
productivity gradient remains a major challenge. Insight from simple, bivariate relationships …

The unresolved question of what causes the observed positive relationship between large-
scale productivity and species richness has long interested ecologists and evolutionists …

Understanding the relationship between species richness and productivity is fundamental to
the management and preservation of biodiversity. Yet despite years of study and intense …

Aim To study how differences in species richness patterns of woody and herbaceous plants
may be influenced by ecological and evolutionary factors. Unimodal species richness …

Researchers predict that human activities—especially landscape modification and climate
