• Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change (2013, background): “…crucial role in maintaining ecosystem processes (Smith & Knapp, 2003; Hillebrand, Bennett & Cadotte, 2008), though the contention surrounding this issue is illustrated by the differing perspectives on Grime (1998)’s mass ratio hypothesis (e.g. McLaren & Turkington, 2010; Sasaki & Lauenroth, 2011).”
• Ecological assembly rules in plant communities—approaches, patterns and prospects (2012, methodology): “…there has been surprisingly little use of species removal and addition experiments, explicitly to study assembly rules (Fukami et al., 2005; Turnbull et al., 2005; Ejrnaes, Bruun & Graae, 2006; Mwangi et al., 2007; Myers & Harms, 2009a; Roscher, Schmid & Schulze, 2009; McLaren & Turkington, 2010).”
• Plant functional diversity and carbon storage – an empirical test in semi‐arid forest ecosystems (2013, background): “…species or functional groups from initially homogeneous communities in the field, both herbaceous (Symstad & Tilman 2001; Polley et al. 2006; McLaren & Turkington 2010; Joner et al. 2011) and woody (Aguiar & Sala 1994; Díaz et al. 2003; Bret-Harte et al. 2008; Wardle, Lagerström & Nilsson…”
• Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, methodology): “We used a series of regression equations that equated the biomass of each species with the total number of leaf hits (McLaren and Turkington, 2010) to determine biomass of each species for each plot and these values were summed to determine total aboveground biomass.”
