Toward a stoichiometric framework for evolutionary biology (2005, background): “responses to increasing CO2 and nutrient supply in plants may also have strong impacts on fitness, because CO2 supply can alter leaf C:N ratios, which in turn can affect plant susceptibility to herbivores (Reich et al. 2001).”
Plant Functional Group Diversity as a Mechanism for Invasion Resistance (2005, background): “Research implies indigenous functional groups evolved to fill selected ecological roles because they differ in nutrient accumulation, storage, conservation strategies, and concentration (Parrish & Bazzaz 1976; McJannet et al. 1995; Carrera et al. 2000; Duke & Caldwell 2001; Reich et al. 2001).”
The effect of elevated CO2 on growth and competition in experimental phytoplankton communities (2011, background): “Comparable differences between species have been reported from land plants (Reich et al., 2001).”
The impact of elevated CO2, increased nitrogen availability and biodiversity on plant tissue quality and decomposition (2007, methodology): “Aboveground leaf samples were collected in midAugust 1999 by clipping a 10 cm 100 cm strip at the soil surface, and sorted into live plant by species and senesced litter (Reich et al., 2001a, 2000).”
Plant species richness, elevated CO2, and atmospheric nitrogen deposition alter soil microbial community composition and function (2007, methodology): “Because plant productivity responded more to elevated CO2 and N deposition in species-rich than species-poor plant communities (Reich et al., 2001a), we hypothesized that more diverse plant assemblages will provide heterotrophic soil microbial communities with an enhanced supply of organic…”
In search of forage: predicting dynamic habitats of Mongolian gazelles using satellite-based estimates of vegetation productivity (2008, background): “First, variation in plant species composition may go along with differences in nutritional quality (Hooper & Vitousek 1998; Reich et al. 2001) while productivity rates are similar.”
Global response patterns of terrestrial plant species to nitrogen addition. (2008, background): “Similarly, MAT explains very little of the total variation in leaf N concentration of plants ( Reich & Oleksyn, 2004 ).”
Ecosystem properties determined by plant functional group identity (2010, background): “These results contrast with numerous studies using artificially created communities (Reich et al. 2001a, 2004; Fridley 2002; Craine et al. 2003).”
DISENTANGLING THE IMPACTS OF DIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING IN COMBINATORIAL EXPERIMENTS (2002, methodology): “…as those by Hooper and Vitousek (1997), Tilman et al. (1997), Hector et al. (2000), Engelhardt and Ritchie (2001), Symstad and Tilman (2001), and Reich et al. (2001a) provide valuable insights into plant functional diversity and ecosystem functioning, they shed little light into diversity…”
Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments (2018, background): “For some time, BEF investigators have explored the consequences for ecosystem functioning of diversity of functional traits (functional diversity; Tilman et al., 1997a,b; Reich et al., 2001) and diversity in the evolutionary relationships among sympatric individuals, from the intraspecific (genetic ”
What have we learned from 15 years of free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE)? A meta-analytic review of the responses of photosynthesis, canopy properties and plant production to rising CO2. (2004, methodology): “The Swiss FACE experiment was a managed agricultural pasture (with 10–14 or 42–56 g N m−2 yr−1; Zanetti et al., 1996), and the BioCON experiment was a natural prairie grassland experiment with no nutrient input on some plots and 4 g N m−2 yr−1 on other plots (Reich et al., 2001).”
Growth depression of mycorrhizal Citrus seedlings grown at high phosphorus supply is mitigated by elevated CO2 (2002, background): “Reich et al. (2001) recently found substantial variation in the biomass response to CO2 and N availability among grassland species within four trait-based functional groups and concluded that functional classifications alone may not be sufficient in understanding plant responses to CO2 and N availab”
Effects of elevated CO2, nitrogen deposition, and decreased species diversity on foliar fungal plant disease (2003, methodology): “In monocultures of our experiment, foliar nitrogen concentration in C 4 grasses was lower than in all other functional groups at ambient nitrogen supply, and increased the most both proportionally and absolutely in response to nitrogen addition (Reich et al., 2001b).”
