The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in food webs (2005, background): “…concentrated on single trophic level systems, for the most part, primary producers, (see for example Hector et al. 1999; Tilman et al. 1997, 2001; Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid 2004; van Ruijven and Berendse 2005; Loreau 1998), relatively few theoretical and experimental studies have examined…”
Structural diversity as a predictor of ecosystem function (2019, background): “…for variation in some environmental conditions (e.g. water or soil nutrients; Kreuzwieser and Gessler 2010, Levesque et al 2015), making the strength of D-EF less variable across environmental gradients (e.g. D-EF and biotope space as a gradient; Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid 2004, Eisenhauer 2012).”
Complementarity among species in horizontal versus vertical rooting space (2008, background): “We chose these plant species because of their high abundance in natural grasslands of the region, high germination rate, ability to form monocultures and potential for belowground niche separation (Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid 2004).”
Plant species richness and functional groups have different effects on soil water content in a decade‐long grassland experiment (2018, background): “This water-related research has generally focused on the efficiency of resource use (Leimer et al., 2014, 2018; Milcu et al., 2016), drought stress (Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid, 2004; Vogel, Scherer‐Lorenzen, & Weigelt, 2012), and complementarity (Cardinale et al., 2007; Guderle et al., 2018;…”
Interpreting the 'selection effect' of biodiversity on ecosystem function (2005, background): “Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid (2004) found that total biomass of plant mixtures increased with species richness more strongly when mixtures were planted in deeper soil, a result they attributed primarily to increased trait-independent complementarity in deeper soil.”
Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: reconciling the results of experimental and observational studies (2007, background): “It is because the direct influence of diversity on ecosystem processes can be obscured by variation in environmental conditions (Fridley 2002; Mulder et al. 2002; Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid 2004 ) that it is necessary to perform biodiversity experiments and why it is not surprising that observational”
Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “Our work thus adds to the limited number of studies demonstrating that niche differences and phenotypic plasticity can generate biodiversity effects (Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid 2004, Cardinale 2011).”
Overyielding in experimental grassland communities - irrespective of species pool or spatial scale (2005, background): “…increases the likelihood of complementarity, seems to reach a limit beyond which further species additions do not increase the total niche space taken up by the community (Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid 2004), but rather lead to suppression of some species by others as measured by the selection effect.”
Above‐ground biomass is driven by mass‐ratio effects and stand structural attributes in a temperate deciduous forest (2018, methodology): “These four functional traits represent different life history and niche partitioning strategies, and are commonly used in biodiversity- EF studies (Díaz et al., 2007; Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid, 2004; Wright et al., 2010).”
Resource Heterogeneity Moderates the Biodiversity-Function Relationship in Real World Ecosystems (2008, background): “As biotope availability (the physical space associated with a species niche) increases along spatial gradients, species may complement each other by occupying slightly different sections of the niche space [27,36].”
A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “Recent theoretical (Cardinale et al. 2004; Loreau 2004) and empirical (Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid 2004) evidence suggests that the likelihood of detecting a diversity effect caused by resource partitioning increases with spatial and temporal scales as niche differences among species are more fully…”
The functional role of producer diversity in ecosystems. (2011, background): “In contrast to the well-studied aspects of time, few studies have manipulated biodiversity at more than one spatial scale (but see Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid, 2004 ).”
Functional diversity: back to basics and looking forward. (2006, background): “More recent experiments using plants may provide stronger evidence of the importance of functional diversity (Symstad et al. 1998; Spehn et al. 2000; Reich et al. 2001; Tilman et al. 2001; Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid 2004; Hooper & Dukes 2004).”
Functional Diversity — at the Crossroads between Ecosystem Functioning and Environmental Filters (2007, background): “Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid (2004) measured biodiversity effects on plant biomass in synthetic calcareousgrassland communities planted on soil of different depths, and found that the importance of resource use complementarity increased as soil depth increased, suggesting that the biodiversity effect…”
