Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, result): “Most of these studies manipulated the number of herbaceous plant species; similar results were observed in other types of ecosystems (for example, results reported in Bell et al. 2005, Stachowicz et al. 1999, and Van der Heijden et al. 1998).”
Bacterial diversity amplifies nutrient‐based plant–soil feedbacks (2015, background): “2006), including soil bacterial communities (Bell et al. 2005; Jousset et al. 2011a; Becker et al. 2012).”
Insights into the resistance and resilience of the soil microbial community. (2013, background): “This was consistent with there being functional redundancy between the species, but with the caveat that apparently unimportant species in a stable environment might have a role in maintaining function in a fluctuating environment, that is, be important for stability (Bell et al., 2005).”
Species richness and identity affect the use of aboveground space in experimental grasslands (2008, result): “This was possible because in our design, like in another recent experiment using microbes (Bell et al., 2005), the presence of each individual species was correlated to exactly the same degree with species richness.”
Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “However, a notable exception is provided by Bell et al. (2005), where respiration increased with bacterial diversity up to 72 species, the maximum level, and a curve fitted to the data predicted further increase in respiration with increased species richness.”
Resistance, resilience, and redundancy in microbial communities (2008, background): “(50) showed that the diversity and composition of bacteria influenced respiration rates in aquatic microcosms.”
Ecology and exploration of the rare biosphere (2015, background): “Parallel studies of bacteria and the associated phage or phages will contribute to the understanding of microbial diver sity and dynamics of the rare biosphere, which is impor tant given the relationship between bacterial diversity and ecosystem function 63 .”
Quantifying the evidence for biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. (2006, background): “In particular, a recent experiment that came to light after our analysis was carried out (Bell et al. 2005), suggests that bacterial systems hold great promise for future research of biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning.”
