Quantifying and interpreting functional diversity of natural communities: practical considerations matter (2006, background): “The design and interpretation of biodiversity experiments has been widely disputed (e.g. Lepš 2004).”
Variations in species and functional plant diversity along climatic and grazing gradients (2006, background): “Although biodiversity can be defined using different components (Magurran 2004), species richness has been used as the main index in most studies linking biodi- versity to ecosystem functioning (Loreau et al. 2002, Lepš 2004, Schmid and Hector 2004).”
The Rengen Grassland Experiment: Effect of Soil Chemical Properties on Biomass Production, Plant Species Composition and Species Richness (2010, background): “Although plant species composition, species richness, biomass production and soil chemical properties are closely related ( Leps 2004; Marini et al. 2007; Wellstein et al. 2007), they have not been analyzed simultaneously in the RGE until now.”
Dominant Species Constrain Effects of Species Diversity on Temporal Variability in Biomass Production of Tallgrass Prairie (2007, background): “As reported here and noted in another grassland study (Lepš 2004), however, variance-mean and variance-relative abundance relationships may differ among species.”
Identifying population‐ and community‐level mechanisms of diversity–stability relationships in experimental grasslands (2011, background): “A greater stability in dominant than in subordinate species has been observed in several empirical studies (Bai et al. 2004; Lepš 2004; Steiner et al. 2005; Polley,Wilsey&Derner 2007;Grman et al. 2010).”
Niche overlap reveals the effects of competition, disturbance and contrasting assembly processes in experimental grassland communities (2011, methodology): “The experiment was established in 1994 in a full factorial design in a wet meadow in South Bohemia, Czech Republic, Central Europe (see Lepš 2004 for details).”
Quantifying the relevance of intraspecific trait variability for functional diversity (2011, unknown): “As proposed by Lepš et al. (2006), the ‘total community variance’ can be decomposed into the sum of ‘between-species variance’ and ‘within-species variance’.”
The effects of long-term fertilization on the temporal stability of alpine meadow communities (2011, unknown): “In contrast to other recent studies (Dodd et al. 1994; Tilman et al. 1996; Leps 2004; Grman et al. 2010), our results demonstrate a positive relationship between fertilization and temporal stability of community cover despite a strong decrease in species richness.”
