Macroecology of mangroves: large-scale patterns and processes in tropical coastal forests (2002, background): “A macroecological analysis of local richness begins with the axiom that species that occur at a given site are a subset of a regional pool of species that are available to colonize the site (Caley and Schluter 1997; Grace 2001a ).”
Establishment limitation reduces species recruitment and species richness as soil resources rise (2004, background): “If recruitment is generally very low in productive communities (Huston 1999; Grace 2001), interesting”
N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “The relative importance of these factors in controlling species diversity has been much debated in recent years (Grace, 1999; Herben, 2000; Zobel et al., 2000; Grace, 2001; Zobel, 2001), showing that each of them can be important, and that they interact (Foster, 2001; Lord & Lee, 2001).”
Contrasting Relationships between Precipitation and Species Richness in Space and Time (2007, background): “The potential for precipitation to influence richness through cueing highlights what Grace (2001) refers to as a ‘‘nonresource environmental effect.’’”
Effect of local and regional processes on plant species richness in tallgrass prairie (2002, background): “Because no one mechanism is likely to explain distribution and abundance patterns at multiple scales, studies of the interactive effects of multiple mechanisms at multiple scales are needed (Grace 2001b).”
Direct and productivity‐mediated indirect effects of fertilization, mowing and grazing on grassland species richness (2012, background): “…seasonal release hypothesis combines several of the above processes in proposing that seasonal dieback of above-ground material can act to release the community from the competitive suppression of the recruitment process and further act to maintain higher species richness (Huston 1994; Grace 2001).”
The response of plant diversity to ecosystem retrogression: evidence from contrasting long‐term chronosequences (2008, background): “The majority of studies provide evidence for negative or hump-shaped responses to soil fertility or standing biomass in herbaceous communities (Grime 1973, Grace 2001, Mittelbach et al. 2001, Wilson and Tilman 2002).”
