Benefits of increasing plant diversity in sustainable agroecosystems
Recent studies have revealed many potential benefits of increasing plant diversity in natural
ecosystems, as well as in agroecosystems and production forests. Plant diversity potentially …

Impacts of species richness on productivity in a large-scale subtropical forest experiment
Biodiversity experiments have shown that species loss reduces ecosystem functioning in
grassland. To test whether this result can be extrapolated to forests, the main contributors to …

Plant traits alone are poor predictors of ecosystem properties and long-term ecosystem functioning
F Van der Plas, T Schröder-Georgi, A Weigelt… - Nature ecology & …, 2020 - nature.com
Earth is home to over 350,000 vascular plant species that differ in their traits in innumerable
ways. A key challenge is to predict how natural or anthropogenically driven changes in the …

[HTML][HTML] What is the potential for replacing monocultures with mixed-species stands to enhance ecosystem services in boreal forests in Fennoscandia?
The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

Demystifying dominant species
The pattern of a few abundant species and many rarer species is a defining characteristic of
communities worldwide. These abundant species are often referred to as dominant species …
