Establishment of native tropical timber trees in monoculture and mixed-species plantations: Small-scale effects on tree performance and insect herbivory (2011, background): “The study revealed that trees growing in varying 3-species mixtures (comprising one to three of our study species; for details see Healy et al., 2008) exhibited enhanced tree growth and productivity, respectively, compared to monocultures.”
Is forest diversity driving ecosystem function and service (2010, methodology): “The following literature was used: biota community property: [14,15 ,16–23,27 ,29], resistance to herbivory [25,26,27 ,28,29], invasion resistance [24], production [30,32 ,33,34 ,35,40,43], survival [32 ,34 ,40] recruitment [25,40], litter production [31,44], root biomass [22,45], soil C [46], eleme”
Tamm Review: On the strength of evidence when comparing ecosystem functions of mixtures with monocultures (2015, background): “Interestingly, in a planted tree-species diversity experiment in Panama, even random positioning of treatments resulted in a chance positioning of treatments with high diversities on more fertile positions than less diverse treatments, and this needs to be accounted for in analyses to avoid overesti”
Carbon storage in tropical forests correlates with taxonomic diversity and functional dominance on a global scale (2014, background): “This result agrees with previous studies that have found that the traits of dominant species (i.e. wood density and diameter) have a large effect on aboveground C storage (Balvanera et al., 2005; Ruiz-Jaen & Potvin, 2010) and produc- tivity (Healy et al., 2008).”
Impact of climate change on biodiversity and associated key ecosystem services in Africa: a systematic review (2018, background): “…often found significant and positive effects of species richness on different components of the carbon cycle, including productivity (Piotto 2008, Healy, Gotelli, and Potvin 2008), decomposition (Scherer-Lorenzen, Luis Bonilla, and Potvin 2007), soil respiration (Murphy et al. 2008), and plant…”
