Microbial communities and their relevance for ecosystem models: Decomposition as a case study (2010, background): “Similarly, cellulose decomposition increased linearly as numbers of cellulolytic bacterial species increased from one to four, but not from four to eight (Wohl et al., 2004).”
Microbial indicators as a diagnostic tool for assessing water quality and climate stress in coral reef ecosystems (2017, background): “However, ecosystem processes can remain constant after disturbances even when a compositional shift has been observed (Wohl et al. 2004; Allison and Martiny 2008; Banerjee et al. 2016).”
Integrating microbial ecology into ecosystem models: challenges and priorities (2012, background): “In microcosm studies of microbial diversity, rates of nutrient transformation often increase linearly as the first several microbial taxa are added (Bell et al. 2005; Degens 1998; Fernandez et al. 2000; Griffiths et al. 2000; Naeem et al. 2000; Naeem and Li 1998; Setala and McLean 2004; van der Heij”
Using Phylogenetic, Functional and Trait Diversity to Understand Patterns of Plant Community Productivity (2009, background): “First, the removal or addition of ‘‘functionally redundant’’ species may have effects on community dynamics and processes [15–17], indicating that there are important functional differences not captured by broad groupings.”
Darkness visible: reflections on underground ecology (2005, unknown): “Wohl et al. (2004), for example, deﬁne functional redundancy as ‘multiple species, while biologically unique, contributing with similar intensity to the same process within an ecosystem’.”
