Species richness effects on ecosystem multifunctionality depend on evenness, composition and spatial pattern (2012, background): “…that non-random distributions in the spatial distribution of resources (Replansky & Bell 2009; Langenheder et al. 2010; Garcı́a-Palacios et al. 2011) and the physical environment (e.g. Griffin et al. 2009) can modulate diversity effects, but our experiments were carried out with homogeneous soils.”
Structural diversity as a predictor of ecosystem function (2019, background): “Published by IOPPublishing Ltd scales (Griffin et al 2009), because they are sensitive to environmental gradients (Cardinale et al 2000, Fei et al 2018).”
Testing the effects of diversity on ecosystem multifunctionality using a multivariate model (2015, methodology): “For example, it is not recommended to fit a Diversity-Interactions model to an experiment with monocultures of each species and replicates of only one type of mixture that contains all species in equal relative abundances (e.g. Griffin et al. 2009).”
