Species diversity and productivity: why do results of diversity‐manipulation experiments differ from natural patterns? (2009, methodology): “…positive diversity effect on productivity in diversity-manipulation experiments represents the ‘true’ biodiversity effect (Loreau et al. 2001; Schmid 2002; Hector et al. 2007), here we view it as a possibly transient effect associated with the relatively short durations of these experiments.”
The history of ecosystem services in economic theory and practice: From early notions to markets and payment schemes (2010, background): “In ecology, the term ecosystem function has traditionally been used to refer to the set of ecosystem processes operating within an ecological system (Loreau et al., 2002; Hector et al., 2007), irrespective of whether or not such processes are useful for humans.”
Positive biodiversity–productivity relationship due to increased plant density (2009, result): “This result is in line with previous findings (Spehn et al. 2002; Hector et al. 2007) and may be explained by the improved nitrogen availability in the soil of legume-containing plots (Temperton et al. 2007).”
Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “Many BEF-related studies have identi ﬁ ed positive relationships between phytoplankton species richness (taken as an indicator of biodiversity) and primary production (Balvanera et al., 2006; Cardinale et al., 2006, 2007; Hector et al., 2007; Ptacnik et al., 2008; Goebel et al., 2014).”
