Seeds for livelihood: Crop biodiversity and food production in Ethiopia (2010, background): “This has been reported in a series of experimental studies that have shown that plant biomass is an increasing function of diversity (Tilman and Downing, 1994; Tilman et al., 1996; Lehman and Tilman, 2000) and that higher diversity systems give greater yields than lower ones (Tilman et al.”
Variability in population and community biomass in a grassland community affected by environmental productivity and diversity (2004, background): “The concordant response of individual species to environmental fluctuation produces a positive correlation, whereas niche complementarity together with competition is expected to lead to a negative correlation (Lehman and Tilman 2000).”
Invasibility and compositional stability in a grassland community: relationships to diversity and extrinsic factors (2002, background): “Consistent with prior theoretical work (May 1972, 1973, Tilman 1999, Lehman and Tilman 2000) and the field studies of Hurd et al. (1971), Mellinger and McNaughton (1975), McNaughton (1977), Tilman (1996) and Sankaran and McNaughton (1999), we found that compositional stability, defined as…”
Crop genetic diversity, farm productivity and the management of environmental risk in rainfed agriculture (2006, background): “Experimental studies have shown that plant biomass is an increasing function of diversity (Tilman and Downing, 1994; Tilman et al. 1996; Lehman and Tilman, 2000) and that higher diversity systems give greater yields than lower ones (Tilman et al.”
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits. (2011, background): “Following several authors, we defined stability as the inverse of variability (e.g. Lehman & Tilman 2000; McCann 2000; Tilman et al. 2006; Griffin et al. 2009; Isbell et al. 2009; Haddad et al. 2011).”
Species asynchrony and response diversity determine multifunctional stability of natural grasslands (2019, background): “Higher community biomass should also increase stability through reduction in demographic stochasticity at the community level (Hector et al., 2010; Isbell et al., 2009; Lehman & Tilman, 2000; de Mazancourt et al., 2013).”
THE INSURANCE VALUE OF BIODIVERSITY IN THE PROVISION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (2005, background): “…of diversity depends on many parameters, including the degree of correlation among different species’ responses (Chesson et al. 2002, Doak et al. 1998, Lehman and Tilman 2000, Tilman 1999, Tilman et al. 1998, Yachi and Loreau 1999), the evenness of distribution among species’ abundances (Doak…”
Soil seed banks in plant invasions: promoting species invasiveness and long-term impact on plant community dynamics. (2012, background): “The formation of a seed bank may delay the rate of response to selection in juvenile or adult characteristics (Levin 1990) and affect evolutionary processes by biasing selection towards traits favoured in years of high seed yield (Templeton & Levin 1979, Brown & Venable 1991).”
Above-ground standing biomass and tree species diversity in natural stands of Central Europe (2007, background): “The relationship between species diversity and various aspects of ecosystem functioning – such as productivity and stability – is still a matter of debate (Lehman & Tilman 2000; McCann 2000; Loreau et al. 2001; Bond & Chase 2002; Naeem & Wright 2003; SchererLorenzen et al. 2005).”
Recovery of Faunal Communities During Tropical Forest Regeneration (2004, background): “To the degree to which ecosystem processes are a function of species richness as opposed to species composition (e.g., Lehman & Tilman 2000), secondary forests are likely to conserve many ecological processes as well as species.”
Propagule pools mediate community assembly and diversity‐ecosystem regulation along a grassland productivity gradient (2004, result): “This result is consistent with the diversitystability hypothesis (Elton 1958; Goodman 1975; McNaughton 1977; Tilman & Downing 1994; Lehman & Tilman 2000 ), but additionally echoes Loreau et al. (2003), who argued that increases in local diversity linked to enhanced immigration among patches within ”
