Efficacy and economics of shelter habitats for conservation biological control (2008, background): “Placed in a broader ecological context, while a saturating function may be a common biodiversity–ecosystem function relationship (Schwartz et al., 2000; Hooper et al., 2005; Cardinale et al., 2006), the minimum diversity at which maximal functioning is obtained will be dependent, in part, on the spa”
Exploring the functional significance of forest diversity: A new long-term experiment with temperate tree species (BIOTREE) (2007, background): “Almost all manipulative biodiversity experiments carried out so far have used fast-growing and small model systems, mostly semi-natural or early successional grasslands, and aquatic or terrestrial microcosms (for reviews see Schläpfer and Schmid, 1999; Loreau et al., 2001; Mikola et al., 2002a; Petc”
Deciphering the associations between soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality driven by long‐term fertilization management (2018, background): “This type of relationship indicates a functional complementarity among certain species (Loreau & Hector, 2001) or a positive selection effect (Cardinale et al., 2006) with increasing biodiversity.”
Microbial functional diversity, metabolic quotient, and invertase activity of a sandy loam soil as affected by long-term application of organic amendment and mineral fertilizer (2011, background): “It has long been recognized that appropriate community population, abundant diversity, and high activity of microorganisms are significant factors to maintain the sustainability and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems (Naeem and Li 1997; Bell et al. 2005; Cardinale et al. 2006; Costa et al. 2007)”
Explaining microbial population genomics through phage predation (2009, background): “A relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem efficiency has been demonstrated in plant ecosystem”
Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, neutral): “Many BEF-related studies have identi ﬁ ed positive relationships between phytoplankton species richness (taken as an indicator of biodiversity) and primary production (Balvanera et al., 2006; Cardinale et al., 2006, 2007; Hector et al., 2007; Ptacnik et al., 2008; Goebel et al., 2014).”
Climate‐driven increases in storm frequency simplify kelp forest food webs (2011, background): “For example, decreases in species richness at any one trophic level can alter primary production, nutrient cycling, and predator–prey dynamics (Cardinale et al., 2006).”
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production (2019, background): “As natural 421 communities vary not only in number of species but also in number of individuals (abundance), 422 it is important to incorporate these attributes when assessing or modelling biodiversity effects 423 (48, 49).”
Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, background): “It is also crucial to predict cascading extinctions and the impact of multiple taxa on ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services (Cardinale et al. 2006, Soliveres et al. 2016).”
