A note on functional diversity measures (2005, background): “Therefore, it might be reasonable to substitute SR with measures of FD that summarize the extent of functional differences in a species pool (Hooper, 1998; Fonseca & Ganade, 2001; Naeem & Wright, 2003).”
Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes (2018, background): “…aboveground features such as plant diversity could influence PPS. Specifically, plant diversity could increase the total soil bacterial diversity giving way to the sampling effect where species-rich ecosystems contain species that function at high levels (Tilman et al. 2002, Naeem and Wright 2003).”
Biodiversity, productivity and stability in real food webs (2003, background): “Yet, current understanding of linkages between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is based largely on research in ungrazed grasslands and aquatic microcosms [ 39 ].”
Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, methodology): “We show that using TDT to analyze these processes leads to several predictions opposite to predictions made by Biodiversity–Ecosystem Function theory (Naeem and Wright, 2003; Tilman et al., 1997; see also Table 3); it also offers a useful alternative hypothesis by which to assess the linkage…”
Function and “functioning” in ecology: what does it mean? (2005, background): “Determining them is done in many different ways (Lavorel et al. 2002, Naeem and Wright 2003), and is an ambitious task, especially if not only groups (or traits) relating to specific ecosystem processes (‘‘functions’’) are sought, but those indicating the functioning of the whole system.”
Partitioning the effects of biodiversity and environmental heterogeneity for productivity and mortality in a tropical tree plantation (2008, background): “Journal compilation © 2008 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 96 , 903‐913 & Vellend 2005) because of its bias towards plants and grasslands, as well as the short time periods and small spatial scales that characterize much of the experimental work (Schlapfer & Schmid 1999; Naeem & Wr”
Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits (2017, neutral): “…organism from the same or different trophic level) or effect traits (i.e. contributing to the effect of the species on an ecosystem function or the interaction with the another trophic level) or both (Lavorel & Garnier 2002; Naeem & Wright 2003; Suding & Goldstein 2008; Lavorel et al. 2013).”
Ecological versus ecotoxicological methods for assessing the environmental risks of transgenic crops (2007, background): “Although the relationship between structure and function is complicated and difficult to study [59], there is a growing consensus that in terrestrial ecosystems there is a significant positive correlation between structural measures of biodiversity (number and distribution of species) and functional”
SPECIES AND FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY OF NATIVE AND HUMAN-DOMINATED PLANT COMMUNITIES (2005, background): “Scientists have studied this relationship for over a decade (Schultze and Mooney 1993, Tilman et al. 1994, 1996b, Hooper and Vitousek 1997, Naeem and Wright 2003), yet a relatively limited set of ecosystem functions and traits have been explored in this context.”
Vertical Vegetation Structure Below Ground: Scaling from Root to Globe (2005, background): “traits to properties of communities or ecosystems (Naeem and Wright 2003).”
Effects of grazing abandonment on functional and taxonomic diversity of Mediterranean grasslands (2012, background): “Lower functional diversity in abandoned pastures can imply a decrease in the rates of ecological processes (Díaz and Cabido, 2001; Naeem and Wright, 2003).”
