The diversity–biomass–productivity relationships in grassland management and restoration (2007, background): “…of preexisting or manipulated biomass on diversity and productivity (Grace, 1999; Guo & Berry, 1998; Noy-Meir, 1975) and (2) experiments examining the influences of diversity (seeding, planting) on annual biomass production (i.e., productivity; e.g., Hooper et al., 2005; Spehn et al., 2005).”
The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in food webs (2005, background): “The role that biodiversity plays in ecosystem functioning has attracted much attention during the last decade (see syntheses in Kinzig et al. 2002; Loreau et al. 2002; Hooper et al. 2005) due to the current erosion of biodiversity (Pimm et al. 1995).”
Bioengineer effects on understory species richness, diversity, and composition change along an environmental stress gradient: Experimental and mensurative evidence (2013, background): “Both are important community traits because they are related to ecological stability and function (Hooper et al., 2005; Stachowicz et al., 2007; García and Martínez, 2012).”
Beta diversity and taxonomic sufficiency: Do higher‐level taxa reflect heterogeneity in species composition? (2009, background): “However, of considerable importance, even in the context of ecosystem management (Greenstein & Pandolfi, 2008), is to understand of how biodiversity is causally linked to ecosystem properties and how it might affect the functioning of ecosystems (Naeem, 2002; Hooper et al., 2005).”
Comparison of organic and conventional farms: challenging ecologists to make biodiversity functional (2008, background): “Future research needs for understanding multi-trophic diversity effects were highlighted in Hooper et al. (2005), who also maintain that the right combination of functional attributes can be more important than diversity in determining ecosystem response.”
Potential of legume-based grassland–livestock systems in Europe: a review (2013, background): “…grass-lands have shown that biomass production was enhanced in species-rich swards, compared with the average monoculture yield (Spehn et al. , 2002; Hille Ris Lambers et al. , 2004; Hooper and Dukes, 2004; Hooper et al. , 2005; Roscher et al. , 2005; Marquard et al. , 2009; Mommer et al. , 2010).”
Patterns in Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Macrobenthic Invertebrates Across Seagrass Habitats: a Case Study in Atlantic Canada (2015, background): “Studies of taxonomic diversity can provide insight into the consequences of habitat change for ecosystem functioning, particularly if species’ functional traits are examined (Hooper et al. 2005; Lavorel et al. 2011).”
Perspectives on the Future of Land Surface Models and the Challenges of Representing Complex Terrestrial Systems (2020, background): “…is also motivated, for example, by improving understanding of the means by which functional variations within extant communities of species may or may not confer resistance and/or resilience to climate shifts (Hooper et al., 2005; Isbell et al., 2015; Turnbull et al., 2013; Yachi & Loreau, 1999).”
Mangrove macrobenthos: Assemblages, services, and linkages (2008, background): “This difference may also be a direct consequence of the diversity of the mangrove systems, demonstrating a similar relationship to other ecosystem types (Hooper et al., 2005).”
Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, background): “…the consequences of decreased diversity on ecosystems, forming the body of research termed biodiversity ecosystem functioning (BDEF), but there is an on-going debate over the interpretation of the results and conclusions (see reviews by Balvanera et al., 2006; Duffy, 2009; Hooper et al., 2005).”
Identifying key knowledge needs for evidence‐based conservation of wild insect pollinators: a collaborative cross‐sectoral exercise (2013, background): “© 2012 The Royal Entomological Society, Insect Conservation and Diversity ecological question about the interaction between ecosystem function (the pollination service) and diversity (Hooper et al., 2005; Mace et al., 2012) achieved the highest overall rank.”
