Designing resilient and sustainable grasslands for a drier future: Adaptive strategies, functional traits and biotic interactions (2013, background): “Moreover, biodiversity should also act as a safeguard of ecosystem functioning, leading to more stabilized ecosystem functions in response to environmental fluctuations when species diversity increases (Grime 1997; Ives and Carpenter 2007; Campbell et al. 2011).”
Species richness, but not phylogenetic diversity, influences community biomass production and temporal stability in a re-examination of 16 grassland biodiversity studies (2015, background): “…community biomass production is commonly measured as the inverse of its 136 coefficient of variation over time (Tilman 1999, Jiang & Pu 2009, Hector et al. 2010, 137 Campbell et al. 2011), which is the biomass of the community averaged over time divided 138 by its standard deviation through time.”
