Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: reconciling the results of experimental and observational studies (2007, background): “The main exception comes from the Portuguese experiment where diversity did decline substantially in the final year but due to an unusually extreme winter (see Caldeira et al. 2005).”
Dominant Species Constrain Effects of Species Diversity on Temporal Variability in Biomass Production of Tallgrass Prairie (2007, background): “Indeed, results from studies in natural or semi-natural vegetation (Frank and McNaughton 1991, Dodd et al. 1994, Kahmen et al. 2005) and along experimental diversity gradients (Caldeira et al. 2005, Tilman et al. 2006) support the concept that diversity may stabilize function.”
Identifying population‐ and community‐level mechanisms of diversity–stability relationships in experimental grasslands (2011, background): “…butmost studies in grassland systems have reported a destabilizing effect of species diversity on temporal variation in population aboveground biomass production (Tilman 1996; Lehman & Tilman 2000; Caldeira et al. 2005; Tilman, Reich & Knops 2006; van Ruijven & Berendse 2007; Hector et al. 2010).”
