Biodiversity change is uncoupled from species richness trends: Consequences for conservation and monitoring (2018, background): “Meanwhile, the importance of functional trait diversity is explicitly addressed in a posteriori analyses of richness- based BEF experiments (Petchey, Hector, & Gaston, 2004) and by novel approaches to manipulate functional diversity directly in the field (Ebeling et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2015).”
Biodiversity–ecosystem function experiments reveal the mechanisms underlying the consequences of biodiversity change in real world ecosystems (2016, background): “…and redundancy of species in experimental and real world communities, more recent experiments focus less on the number of species per se and assess the functional and phylogenetic dissimilarity within species assemblages (Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2007; Cadotte 2013; Ebeling et al. 2014).”
Below‐ground complementarity effects in a grassland biodiversity experiment are related to deep‐rooting species (2018, methodology): “We determined the relationship between root biomass at different soil depths (0–40 cm) and plant SR in the first and third year of the Jena Trait- Based Experiment, a biodiversity experiment with different species pools (Ebeling et al., 2014).”
