Diversity effects on production in different light and fertility environments: an experiment with communities of annual plants (2003, background): “Transgressive overyielding is a more conservative estimate of complementary resource use (Huston et al. 2000; but see Fridley 2001; Hector et al. 2002), and in this study no transgressive overyielding was apparent in any environment, as measured by 90th-quantile regressions (Fig.”
On the statistical significance of functional diversity effects (2004, background): “in biodiversity alter the extent of resource use complementarity within an assemblage (Hooper 1998; Loreau 1998a; Diaz & Cabido 2001; Tilman et al. 2001; Hector et al. 2002).”
Investigation of plant growth and transpiration-induced matric suction under mixed grass-tree conditions (2017, unknown): “Similar findings are also supported by Hector et al. (2002) and Mazzacavallo and Kulmatiski (2015), who consistently showed that in mixed plantations, inter-species 19 competition reduced the production of both species and also their root water uptake abilities.”
Tree species richness affects litter production and decomposition rates in a tropical biodiversity experiment (2007, methodology): “As demonstrated by Hector et al. (2002), comparisons of mixture productivity with that of the best monoculture provide a conservative way to estimate superior performance of a mixture.”
THE INSURANCE VALUE OF BIODIVERSITY IN THE PROVISION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (2005, background): “Important insights come from research on intercropping and agroforestry (Ewel 1986, Fridley 2001, Harper 1977, Hector et al. 2002, Loreau 1998b, Smale et al. 1998, Trenbath 1974, Vandermeer 1990, Zhu et al. 2000). and can be observed in experiments.10 They are not necessarily mutually exclusive,…”
Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: reconciling the results of experimental and observational studies (2007, result): “widespread negative selection effects (Hector et al. 2002)).”
Positive biodiversity–productivity relationship due to increased plant density (2009, background): “Indeed, similar to the mixed responses of individual species to changes in species richness that were reported from previous experiments (Naeem et al. 1996; Tilman et al. 1997a; Hector et al. 1999; Troumbis et al. 2000; Hector et al. 2002; Van Ruijven & Berendse 2003; Dimitrakopoulos & Schmid 2004; ”
Overyielding in experimental grassland communities - irrespective of species pool or spatial scale (2005, methodology): “In this paper, we present the first results of The Jena Experiment obtained by measuring peak biomass at the end of May in the second year of the project (2003), comparable to the main measurements analysed in the European BIODEPTH project (Hector et al. 1999, 2002a,b).”
