EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “Changes in biota can have greater effects on ecosystem properties than changes in abiotic conditions (e.g., Van Cleve et al. 1991, Chapin et al. 2000).”
Dung beetles as indicators of tropical forest restoration success: Is it possible to recover species and functional diversity? (2014, background): “…reference sites may indicate a higher dispersion of the functional traits in the restored areas, corresponding to a gain in response diversity (variability of responses to disturbances among species that contribute similarly to ecosystem function) (Elmqvist et al., 2009; Laliberté et al., 2010).”
Exploring Social Resilience in Madagascar’s Marine Protected Areas (2009, background): “Madagascar’s MPAs experiment with a range of management techniques in attempts to compliment these informal institutions and create functional redundancy at different scales (Elmqvist et al. 2003).”
Regime Shifts, Resilience, and Biodiversity in Ecosystem Management (2004, background): “Elmqvist et al. (2003) call this property response diversity, and it is defined as the diversity of responses to environmental change among species that contribute to the same ecosystem function.”
Diversifying crop rotation improves system robustness (2019, background): “A diversified agroecosystem is considered theoretically robust in the presence of perturbations (Elmqvist et al. 2003; Kremen and Miles 2012).”
RESILIENCE: THE EMERGENCE OF A PERSPECTIVE FOR SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSES (2006, background): “In addition, variability in responses of species within functional groups to environmental change is critical to ecosystem resilience (Chapin et al., 1997) a property referred to as response diversity (Elmqvist et al., 2003).”
Capturing the cornerstones of coral reef resilience: linking theory to practice (2008, background): “…1973; Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1981; Naeem et al. 1995; McGrady-Steed et al. 1997; Tilman et al. 1997; Chapin et al. 2000; Cottingham et al. 2001; Elmqvist et al. 2003; Loreau et al. 2003; Worm and Duffy 2003), although the relationship in many aspects remains unclear (Hooper et al. 2005; Ives…”
Coral–macroalgal phase shifts or reef resilience: links with diversity and functional roles of herbivorous fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, background): “…also suggests that the prevention of phase shifts by herbivorous fishes is more likely when species richness is high (Burkepile and Hay 2008, 2010), supporting the widely accepted notion that diversity and ecosystem resilience are positively related (Elmqvist et al. 2003; Hooper et al. 2005).”
