Weed-Species Abundance and Diversity Indices in Relation to Tillage Systems and Fertilization (2018, background): “Weed communities tend to be more diversified in low than in high input systems (Gough et al., 2000; Suding et al., 2005; Bilalis et al., 2010), while Santín-Montanyá et al. (2013) did not observeany significant effect of fertilization on weed abundance and diversity.”
Responses of moist non-acidic arctic tundra to altered environment: productivity, biomass, and species richness (2003, background): “The lack of change in richness with the dramatic biomass increase was somewhat surprising, as in many ecological experiments increased plant abundance with added nutrients has led to decreased species richness (Gough et al. 2000a).”
Species diversity and productivity: why do results of diversity‐manipulation experiments differ from natural patterns? (2009, background): “In contrast to the common positive diversity–productivity relationships in short-term diversity-manipulation experiments, however, plant diversity generally declines with increasing productivity in these studies (Gough et al. 2000; Crawley et al. 2005; Thompson et al. 2005; Suding et al. 2005).”
Bacterial diversity patterns along a gradient of primary productivity (2003, background): “This anthropogenic influx of nutrients often results in a decrease in plant and animal species diversity ( Gough et al. 2000 ).”
Vascular plant and Orthoptera diversity in relation to grassland management and landscape composition in the European Alps (2007, result): “These findings conform to several studies, which have found pronounced decreases in species diversity after nutrient enrichment (Gough et al. 2000).”
Plant community responses to nitrogen addition and increased precipitation: the importance of water availability and species traits (2011, background): “Several mechanisms have been used to account for the reduction in species diversity under elevated N (Gough et al., 2000; Rajaniemi, 2002; Suding et al., 2005; Clark & Tilman, 2008).”
Guidelines for a graph-theoretic implementation of structural equation modeling (2012, background): “The addition of nutrients to plant communities most commonly results in a decline in diversity (e.g., Gough et al. 2000).”
Mycorrhizal mediation of plant N acquisition and residue decomposition: Impact of mineral N inputs (2006, background): “Elevated N deposition has been associated with increases in plant primary productivity, alterations in plant species composition, and reductions in plant diversity (Wedin & Tilman, 1996; Gough et al., 2000).”
Nitrogen enrichment alters mycorrhizal allocation at five mesic to semiarid grasslands (2003, background): “Nitrogen enrichment of grasslands often dramatically increases aboveground productivity, alters plant species composition, and reduces species diversity (Tilman 1988, Berendse et al. 1993, Gough et al. 2000).”
SOIL RESOURCES REGULATE PRODUCTIVITY AND DIVERSITY IN NEWLY ESTABLISHED TALLGRASS PRAIRIE (2003, background): “…resource availability has been demonstrated through experimental manipulation of limiting nutrients in a variety of ecosystems (Tilman 1987, 1993, Carson and Barrett 1988, Bakelaar and Odum 1978, Foster and Gross 1998, Bedford et al. 1999, Waide et al. 1999, Gough et al. 2000, Nilsson et al. 2002).”
Fertilization decreases species diversity but increases functional diversity: A three-year experiment in a Tibetan alpine meadow (2014, background): “, 2009) and increased productivity (Gough et al., 2000; Hooper et al., 2005; LeBauer and Treseder, 2008; Craine and Jackson, 2010), attempts”
Effect of local and regional processes on plant species richness in tallgrass prairie (2002, background): “For example, local richness is often strongly related to local productivity (Waide et al. 1999, Gross et al. 2000, Gough et al. 2000, Mittelbach et al. 2001).”
N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “In shortterm fertilization experiments, addition of P often had little effect on species richness; positive and negative effects both occurred (Gough et al., 2000; Pauli et al., 2002; Roem et al., 2002).”
Diversity of Intertidal Macroalgae Increases with Nitrogen Loading by Invertebrates (2004, background): “Especially in terrestrial systems, most experimental increases in productivity (via addition of limiting nutrients) result in declines in macrophyte diversity, due to domination by aggressive competitors (Gough et al. 2000).”
