Biomass, diversity and production of rocky shore macroalgae at two nutrient enrichment and wave action levels (2010, unknown): “Our results also echo those of Jiang et al. (2008) in the sense that for a particular function (here productivity), the exact form of the BEFrelationship may depend on how the functional groups relate to their competitive abilities in the community.”
The Role of Microbial Communities in the Formation and Decomposition of Soil Organic Matter (2010, background): “Moreover, specific traits of certain species rather than species number have been identified to exert greater influence on ecosystem functions and processes (Duarte et al. 2006; Jiang et al. 2008).”
Species diversity and productivity: why do results of diversity‐manipulation experiments differ from natural patterns? (2009, background): “the increased probability of unproductive species being included and dominant in more diverse communities) may instead operate, which may also lead to non-positive diversity‐productivity relationships (Loreau 2000; Jiang et al. 2008 ).”
