• Contribution of acidification and eutrophication to declines in species richness of calcifuge grasslands along a gradient of atmospheric nitrogen deposition (2010, background): “…of declining species richness is suggested by the association between 116 acid deposition, reduced soil pH (e.g. Skiba et al., 1989; Blake et al., 1999; Stevens et 117 al., 2006; Horswill et al., 2008) and increased availability of metals (e.g. Stevens et 118 al., 2009; Roem et al., 2002).”
• Does phosphorus limitation promote species-rich plant communities? (2011, unknown): “This mechanism is likely to be more relevant for aquatic ecosystems, where nutrients are well mixed, than for plants growing in soil, where nutrients are distributed heterogeneously (Huston and DeAngelis 1994); however, there is some evidence that it does apply also in terrestrial ecosystems (Harpol”
• Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “A variable usually positively associated with plant diversity and productivity is pH (Roem & Berendse, 2000; Dzwonko, 2001; Perelman et al., 2001; Roem et al., 2002).”
• Nutrient limitation and botanical diversity in wetlands: can fertilisation raise species richness? (2005, background): “There are indeed reports of P fertilisa- tion increasing species richness in wetlands, but the effect was only transitional in the experiment of Roem et al. (2002), and it reduced the fraction of typical fen species in the experiment of Pauli et al. (2002).”
• Responses of wetland graminoids to the relative supply of nitrogen and phosphorus (2004, background): “…ratios affect the growth and functional traits of species that dominate at N- or P-limited sites, this may help us to understand and predict how changes in the relative supplies of N and P e.g. due to atmospheric N deposition will affect plant communities Roem et al. 2002; Limpens et al. 2003 .”
• N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “In shortterm fertilization experiments, addition of P often had little effect on species richness; positive and negative effects both occurred (Gough et al., 2000; Pauli et al., 2002; Roem et al., 2002).”
• Nitrogen deposition causes widespread loss of species richness in British habitats (2010, background): “Numerous experimental additions of N have demonstrated profound ecological effects in a variety of habitats (Morecroft et al., 1994; Power et al., 1995, 1998; Roem et al., 2002; Carroll et al., 2003; Clark & Tilman, 2008).”
