• Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China (2014, background): “must be available (Schmid et al. 2008).”
• Strong mixture effects among four species in fertilized agricultural grassland led to persistent and consistent transgressive overyielding (2009, methodology): “However, the inferential methods that have been used to test for transgressive overyielding are subject to serious criticism of bias in favour of monocultures (Schmid et al. 2008).”
• Root responses to nutrients and soil biota: drivers of species coexistence and ecosystem productivity (2012, background): “Evidence for transgressive overyielding is mixed and seems particularly associated with the presence of legumes, which increases soil N availability (Cardinale et al. 2007; Fargione et al. 2007; Schmid et al. 2008; Marquard et al. 2009).”
• Ecosystem function enhanced by combining four functional types of plant species in intensively managed grassland mixtures: a 3‐year continental‐scale field experiment (2013, unknown): “of biases (Kirwan et al. 2007; Schmid et al. 2008) that result in”
• Testing the effects of diversity on ecosystem multifunctionality using a multivariate model (2015, background): “(4) The model here assumes a constant variance across plots for each ecosystem function but could easily be adjusted if this were not the case, e.g. the variance for an ecosystem function could differ between monoculture and mixture communities (Schmid et al. 2008).”
• Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “…the strong influence that biological diversity exerts on numerous ecosystem processes and services (Cardinale et al. 2012), and notably on primary production through ‘‘overyielding,’’ i.e., an increased biomass production in mixture compared to that expected from monocultures (Schmid et al. 2008).”
• The functional role of producer diversity in ecosystems. (2011, background): “…of the short duration of experiments ( Cardinale et al., 2007 ), may be due to negative selection effects that prevent expression of overyielding ( Hooper and Dukes, 2004 ; Jiang et al., 2008 ), or represents limitations in our ability to test for transgressive overyielding ( Schmid et al., 2008 ).”
