• Mainstreaming ecosystem services into EU policy (2013, background): “For instance, Cardinale [31 ] showed that a higher diversity of the community of algal species increased the nitrogen uptake capacity justifying efforts to protect and conserve aquatic biodiversity.”
• An improved model to predict the effects of changing biodiversity levels on ecosystem function (2013, background): “Generalised Diversity-Interactions models can also be approximately related to power (br) and hyperbolic (ar/(r + K)) relationships with richness (Cardinale et al. 2009; Cardinale 2011).”
• Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “Our work thus adds to the limited number of studies demonstrating that niche differences and phenotypic plasticity can generate biodiversity effects (Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid 2004, Cardinale 2011).”
• Understanding and Enhancing Soil Biological Health: The Solution for Reversing Soil Degradation (2015, background): “In recent publications, biodiversity was also shown to influence global C [65] and greenhouse gas budgets [66], enhance water quality [67], moderate soil organic matter decomposition [68,69], regulate nutrient retention and availability [69], and determine the susceptibility of soil to invasion by a”
• Essential biodiversity variables for measuring change in global freshwater biodiversity (2017, background): “…article as: Turak, E., et al., Essential Biodiversity Variables fo servation (2016), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2016.09.005 functioning (Cardinale, 2011; Brooks et al., 2016), we are not yet able, with a few exceptions, to identify the role of individual species in maintaining…”
• Same same but different: ecological niche partitioning of planktonic freshwater prokaryotes (2013, background): “Moreover, spatio-temporal niches in experimental river biofilms have not only led to higher algal diversity but also to increased nutrient elimination and thus, improved water quality (cardinale, 2011).”
• Forest productivity increases with evenness, species richness and trait variation: a global meta‐analysis (2012, background): “However, it is rare for DPR studies to directly demonstrate the link between the net biodiversity effect in polycultures and ecological mechanisms (Cardinale 2011).”
