Facilitation and the invasibility of plant communities (2021, background): “As emphasized in this Special Feature, direct and indirect facilitative interactions are also important mechanisms in biodiversity– ecosystem function (BEF) processes (Caldeira et al., 2001; Cardinale et al., 2002; Knops et al. 1999; Mulder et al., 2001; Wright et al., 2017; Yang et al. 2015).”
Growth, water relations, and nutritive value of pasture species mixtures under moisture stress (2004, background): “…of grazinglands facing drought stress (Ruz-containing chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), orchardgrass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and white clover Jerez et al., 1991; Daly et al., 1996; Caldeira et al., 2001). had the greatest dry matter yield at all moisture levels.”
Understanding plant responses to drought - from genes to the whole plant. (2003, background): “…in tropical rainforests according to their access to water (Bonal et al. 2000), to compare water use by communities with different biodiversity (Caldeira et al. 2001), to assess hydraulic limitations in forests (Fessenden and Ehleringer 2002), and to assess the past water use efficiency by…”
Plant species richness and functional groups have different effects on soil water content in a decade‐long grassland experiment (2018, background): “For instance, Caldeira et al. (2001) observed both positive and negative effects of plant species richness on soil water content depending on soil depth.”
ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY MANIPULATIONS IN EUROPEAN GRASSLANDS (2005, background): “…see Mulder et al. (1999, 2002), Koricheva et al. (2000), and Jumpponen et al. (2002); for Germany see Gastine et al. (2003) and Scherer-Lorenzen et al. (2003); for Greece see Troumbis et al. (2000, 2002); for Portugal see Caldeira et al. (2001); and for Silwood see Hector et al. (2000a, 2001a).”
Integrating methods that investigate how complementarity influences ecosystem functioning (2003, background): “Direct observations of altered environment and behaviour in polycultures can also shed light on the processes responsible for effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning (Hooper and Vitousek 1998, Spehn et al. 2000, Caldeira et al. 2001, Emmerson et al. 2001, Cardinale et al. 2002).”
Overyielding in grassland communities: testing the sampling effect hypothesis with replicated biodiversity experiments (2002, methodology): “…field sites in the UK at Silwood Park (Hector et al. 2000a; Hector et al. 2001) and Sheffield, and at single localities in Germany (SchererLorenzen 1999), Ireland, Greece (Troumbis et al. 2000), Portugal (Caldeira et al. 2001), Sweden (Mulder et al. 1999) and Switzerland (Spehn et al. 2000).”
Positive effects of plant species diversity on productivity in the absence of legumes (2003, background): “In grasslands where productivity is limited by water availability, facilitation or complementarity in water use may be caused by reduced evaporation from the soil because of increased cover at higher diversity ( Caldeira et al. 2001 ).”
Species evenness and productivity in experimental plant communities (2004, background): “Based on d13C values, plants in mixtures at the Portuguese site suffered less water stress than those in monocultures, suggesting a positive feedback loop between increased plant growth and increased water availability (Caldeira et al. 2001).”
The role of legumes as a component of biodiversity in a cross‐European study of grassland biomass nitrogen (2002, background): “5), because it was suffering from water stress in monocultures, as 13C data showed (Caldeira et al. 2002).”
PLANT DIVERSITY, SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES, AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION: ARE THERE ANY LINKS? (2003, background): “2042 Key words: biodiversity; ecosystem function; gross N immobilization; gross N mineralization; microbial communities; phospholipid fatty acid analysis; plant communities; soil C and N cycling; soil microbes; species richness.”
Endophytic fungi alter relationships between diversity and ecosystem properties (2004, background): “…cases, including the enhancement of primary productivity (Tilman et al. 1997b; Hector et al. 1999; Mikola et al. 2002), nutrient retention (Tilman et al. 1997a), nutrient flow (Cardinale et al. 2002), water availability (Caldeira et al. 2001) and resistance to invasion (Levine & D’Antonio 1999).”
