Biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in fresh waters: assembling the jigsaw puzzle (2009, background): “still have actually manipulated species losses by sequentially removing taxa: instead, inferences are typically made about the consequences of biodiversity loss by comparing assemblages with different initial numbers of species (Raffaelli, 2004; Woodward et al., 2005b).”
Overfishing of Inland Waters (2005, background): “Because species richness tends to be lower at higher trophic levels, the likelihood that another species will fill the role of an extirpated apex predator may be diminished (Raffaelli 2004).”
The tradeoff and synergy between ecosystem services in the Grain-for-Green areas in Northern Shaanxi, China (2014, background): “5) when cropland were replaced by oody vegetation on a large scale (Liu et al., 2004; Raffaelli, 2004) n account of the large amounts of soil moisture consumed by ast-growing trees (Cao et al., 2009).”
Quantifying the evidence for biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. (2006, background): “Unfortunately, interesting new simulation and empirical studies which used non-random extinction scenarios (Raffaelli 2004; Solan et al 2004; Zavaleta & Hulvey 2004; Bunker et al. 2005; Schläpfer et al. 2005; Srivastava & Vellend 2005) could not be included in our analysis because they were…”
Sentinel systems on the razor's edge: effects of warming on Arctic geothermal stream ecosystems (2010, background): “When communities or ecosystems are subjected to environmental stress they can behave in ways that cannot be predicted from studying single species in isolation, due to the complex array of species interactions within the ecological network (Raffaelli, 2004; Woodward, 2009).”
Impact of China's Large-Scale Ecological Restoration Program on the Environment and Society in Arid and Semiarid Areas of China: Achievements, Problems, Synthesis, and Applications (2011, background): “…clear negative relationship between precipitation and environmental changes when grassland and farmland are invaded by woody vegetation (Liu et al., 2004; Raffaelli, 2004); this moisture cannot be replenished during the rainy season in vulnerable arid and semiarid agricultural regions (Cao, 2008a).”
GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “The estimation of the potential number of ecological extinctions caused by overfishing is made easier because these extinctions are typically nonrandom (83, 84).”
The Wildlife Picture Index: monitoring top trophic levels (2010, background): “Worldwide, biodiversity is being lost at a rate comparable in magnitude only to a handful of cataclysmic mass extinction events in the Earth’s geological history (Pimm et al., 1995; Raffaelli, 2004) with potential implications for ecosystem function (Solan et al.”
Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “, 1999), as has also often been predicted for larger metazoans (Raffaelli, 2004; Woodward et al., 2005b).”
