What do the biodiversity experiments tell us about consequences of plant species loss in the real world (2004, unknown): “Many differences in opinion remain (compare the monographs of Kinzig et al., 2002 and Wardle, 2002) and the debate still continues.”
The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, unknown): “…of species loss may be the alteration or loss of certain ecosystem processes, understanding how changes in biodiversity affect the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients and carbon remains a primary focus of ecological research (Kinzig et al. 2002, Loreau et al. 2002, Naeem and Wright 2003).”
Why biodiversity is important to the functioning of real‐world ecosystems (2009, background): “This statistical phenomenon has been termed the “sampling effect” (Huston 1997; Tilman et al. 1997).”
The functional role of producer diversity in ecosystems. (2011, background): “Lists of studies were collated from the literature cited sections of several surveys of biodiversity – ecosystem functioning research ( Schwartz et al., 2000 ; Schmid et al., 2001 ; Covich et al., 2004 ; Hooper et al., 2005 ; Srivastava and Vellend, 2005 ).”
The functional consequences of random vs. ordered species extinctions (2005, background): “…community and ecosystem processes, the extent to which their results can be used to understand natural systems is uncertain (Schmid et al. 2001; Symstad & Tilman 2001; Bengtsson et al. 2002; Holt & Loreau 2002; Symstad et al. 2003; Cardinale et al. 2004; Covich et al. 2004; Giller et al. 2004).”
Biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality (2007, methodology): “Once x and o had been estimated, the relationship between the number of processes and the average number of species with effects on functioning was predicted using equation (2).”
Biodiversity loss, trophic skew and ecosystem functioning (2003, background): “Research on BD-EF has stimulated a new and highly productive intercourse between population, community, ecosystem, and conservation ecology (Kinzig et al. 2002; Loreau et al. 2002).”
Managing Increasing Environmental Risks Through Agro-Biodiversity and Agri-Environmental Policies (2010, unknown): “This result is also supported by recent theoretical, experimental and observational research in ecology about the role of biodiversity for the provision of ecosystem services (Hooper et al. 2005, Kinzig et al. 2002, Loreau et al. 2001, 2002).”
Integrating microbial ecology into ecosystem models: challenges and priorities (2012, background): “…and Weintraub 2003), phenotypic plasticity (e.g., Schimel et al. 2007), population growth and turnover (e.g., Schimel et al. 1994), evolutionary adaptation (e.g., Portner et al. 2006), or shifts in community composition (e.g., Balser et al. 2002), each with potentially different rates of response.”
Functional Diversity — at the Crossroads between Ecosystem Functioning and Environmental Filters (2007, background): “It has been suggested that, at a given site, species richness is limited by the regional species pool, whereas functional diversity is limited by local conditions that determine the availability of niches (Schmid et al. 2002).”
Complementarity among species in horizontal versus vertical rooting space (2008, background): “Evidence for positive effects of species richness on ecosystem functioning has rapidly accumulated in recent years (as reviewed e.g. in Balvanera et al. 2006; Cardinale et al. 2006; Hooper et al. 2005; Kinzig et al. 2002; Loreau et al. 2002).”
Microbial Diversity in Caves (2016, background): “At the same time, this most metabolically diverse class was the dominant group, limiting the increase of bacteria of other taxonomic classes (Chesson et al. 2002).”
THE INSURANCE VALUE OF BIODIVERSITY IN THE PROVISION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (2005, background): “…et al. 1995, Loreau et al. 2001, Schulze and Mooney 1993), there now seems to be a consensus about some of the basic mechanisms through which biodiversity influences ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services (Hooper et al. 2005, Kinzig et al. 2002, Loreau et al. 2001, 2002b).”
Within-species variation in foliar chemistry influences leaf-litter decomposition in a Utah river (2007, background): “…the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem function has shown that functional group diversity and species diversity are important for maintaining ecosystem processes such as productivity or nutrient cycling (e.g., Naeem et al. 1994, Tilman et al. 1997, Loreau et al. 2001, 2002, Kinzig et al. 2002).”
Biotic homogenization: a new research agenda for conservation biogeography (2006, background): “The growing realization that species composition, not richness, defines the role that biodiversity plays in maintaining ecosystem function (Kinzig et al., 2002) should play an important role in this regard by helping to focus future experiments and observational research.”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “, 2001a), there has been increasing interest in the topic recently due to greater recognition of the importance of functional biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (Kinzig et al., 2002).”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “…species richness on ecosystem properties has received some negative press, in the end it has helped broaden and deepen ecological understanding and point the way for future studies integrating both community and ecosystem perspectives (Loreau et al. 2001, 2002b, Kinzig et al. 2002, Naeem 2002b).”
