Macro-zooplankter responses to simulated climate warming in experimental freshwater microcosms (2002, positive): “However, changes to functionally important taxa clearly have the potential to reverberate throughout the ecosystem (Carpenter et al., 1993; Chapin et al., 2000).”
QUANTITATIVE PATTERNS IN THE STRUCTURE OF MODEL AND EMPIRICAL FOOD WEBS (2004, background): “It is thought that the nonlinear response of the elements composing the network may lead to possibly catastrophic outcomes for even small perturbations (Berlow, 1999; Chapin et al., 2000; McKann, 2000).”
How are garbage dumps impacting vertebrate demography, health, and conservation? (2017, background): “Food resources from dumps are an important factor influencing animal movement (Ciucci et al., 1997; Mirmovitch, 1995; Tennent and Downs, 2008).”
A Quantitative Review of Urban Ecosystem Service Assessments: Concepts, Models, and Implementation (2014, background): “Chapin et al. (2000) highlighted the importance of habitat and species diversity for the functioning of ecosystems and the support of ES (Clergeau et al. 1998; Zerbe et al. 2003).”
Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems (2002, background): “INTRODUCTION The cycling of nutrients is critical for the sustenance of ecosystems (DeAngelis et al. 1989, DeAngelis 1992, Costanza et al. 1997, Chapin et al. 2000).”
A multi‐trait test of the leaf‐height‐seed plant strategy scheme with 133 species from a pine forest flora (2010, background): “Functional traits not only define plant strategies for survival, they are thought to influence important ecosystem processes (Chapin et al. 2000).”
Small mammalian herbivores as mediators of plant community dynamics in the high-altitude arid rangelands of Trans-himalaya (2006, background): “Small mammalian herbivores constitute a species rich group in the Trans-Himalaya, representing a unique biogeographical guild of high-altitude fauna with high conservation importance (Chapman and Flux, 1990).”
Biodiversity, productivity and stability in real food webs (2003, background): “First, it is well documented that species loss from established communities could directly change patterns of productivity and stability [ 34 ].”
Status of land cover classification accuracy assessment (2002, background): “…basic processes including biogeochemical cycling and thereby on global warming (Penner, 1994), the erosion of soils and thereby on sustainable land use (Douglas, 1999), and for at least the next 100 years is likely to be the most significant variable impacting on biodiversity (Chapin et al., 2000).”
Interactive effects of diversity, nutrients and elevated CO2 on experimental plant communities (2002, background): “The loss of biodiversity and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration caused by the increased human impact on natural and managed ecosystems may substantially alter ecological functions and ecosystem services to humans (Schulze and Mooney 1993, Vitousek et al. 1997, Chapin et al. 2000).”
Responses of reef fish communities to coral declines on the Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “Decreases in abundances of individual species can have negative consequences for ecosystems despite stable patterns of diversity (Chapin et al. 2000, Bellwood et al. 2004, Folke et al. 2004).”
MULTI‐GROUP BIODIVERSITY IN SHALLOW LAKES ALONG GRADIENTS OF PHOSPHORUS AND WATER PLANT COVER (2005, background): “Taxon richness is a major component of biological diversity and an important ecosystem characteristic (Chapin et al. 2000, Downing and Leibold 2002).”
Mechanisms linking plant species richness to foraging of a large herbivore (2010, background): “2005), especially those influencing nutrient dynamics and trophic interactions, affect the structure and functional relationships of ecosystems (Chapin et al. 2000; Thebault & Loreau 2003; Hooper et al. 2005).”
