A functional trait-based approach to understand community assembly and diversity-productivity relationships over 7 years in experimental grasslands (2013, background): “…that positive species richness–productivity 60 relationships strengthen through time (Cardinale et al., 2007; Fargione et al., 2007; Marquard 61 et al., 2009; van Ruijven and Berendse, 2009), but the mechanisms which control community 62 productivity in the longer term are not well understood.”
Independent variations of plant and soil mixtures reveal soil feedback effects on plant community overyielding (2013, result): “However, plant responses were similar to those in two outdoor experiments of Mommer et al. (2010) and van Ruijven & Berendse (2005, 2009), run over several years, in which similar growth-promoting effects have been found on (root) growth of A. odoratum in mixtures of the same four plant species.”
Root responses to nutrients and soil biota: drivers of species coexistence and ecosystem productivity (2012, background): “Interestingly, from year nine onwards in the biodiversity experiment of van Ruijven & Berendse (2009), transgressive overyielding did appear (Fig.”
Unveiling below‐ground species abundance in a biodiversity experiment: a test of vertical niche differentiation among grassland species (2010, background): “Indeed, this species was always among the three least productive species out of eight common grassland species in the 9-year time series of the Wageningen biodiversity experiment (van Ruijven & Berendse 2009).”
Below‐ground complementarity effects in a grassland biodiversity experiment are related to deep‐rooting species (2018, background): “One of the most studied ecosystem functions is plant productivity, which is known to increase with plant SR both above- and below- ground (Marquard et al., 2009; Tilman et al., 2001; van Ruijven & Berendse, 2009).”
An improved model to predict the effects of changing biodiversity levels on ecosystem function (2013, background): “…as mechanisms leading to a diversity effect in biodiversity–ecosystem–function (BEF) relationships (Hector et al. 1999; Tilman 1999; Cardinale, Palmer & Collins 2002; Hooper et al. 2005; Isbell, Polley & Wilsey 2009; Marquard et al. 2009; van Ruijven & Berendse 2009; Cardinale et al. 2011).”
Positive biodiversity–productivity relationship due to increased plant density (2009, result): “Our results confirm that plant diversity–productivity relationships are usually positive, as it was found in a number of other studies (Naeem et al. 1994; Hector et al. 1999; Tilman et al. 2001; Hooper et al. 2005; Roscher et al. 2005; Balvanera et al. 2006; Cardinale et al. 2006; Van Ruijven & Bere”
Diversity enhances community recovery, but not resistance, after drought (2010, background): “At that time, the relationship between productivity and species richness observed in the experiment, which varied substantially with time during the first years of the experiment, had stabilized at a strongly positive level (van Ruijven & Berendse 2009).”
