In the past two decades, a large number of studies have investigated the relationship
between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, most of which focussed on a limited set of …

The diversity–stability hypothesis states that current losses of biodiversity can impair the
ability of an ecosystem to dampen the effect of environmental perturbations on its …

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

While positive effects of biodiversity on temporal stability of communities have been
demonstrated in theoretical and empirical studies, diversity–stability relationships at the …

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

Human‐caused declines in biodiversity have stimulated intensive research on the
consequences of biodiversity loss for ecosystem services and policy initiatives to preserve …

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

Numerous studies have demonstrated that biodiversity drives ecosystem functioning, yet
how biodiversity loss alters ecosystems functioning and stability in the long-term lacks …

As biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, an important current scientific
challenge is to understand and predict the consequences of biodiversity loss. Here, we …

To predict the ecological consequences of biodiversity loss, researchers have spent much
time and effort quantifying how biological variation affects the magnitude and stability of …
