The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Partitioning the effects of algal species identity and richness on benthic marine primary production (2006, result): “…Carolina (Bruno et al. 2005) and are also concordant with recent studies in terrestrial plant (Fridley 2002, Hector et al. 2002, Hooper and Dukes 2004, Hooper et al. 2005), freshwater plant and microbial (Engelhardt and Ritchie 2002, Downing 2005), and salt marsh communities (Callaway et al. 2003).”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “B., diversity can provide compensatory capability required over time if an ecosystem is to sustain C sequestration (e.g., Bolker et al. 1995), including responses of NPP to elevated CO2 and nitrogen (Stocker et al. 1999, Niklaus et al. 2001b, Reich et al. 2001, He et al. 2002).”
The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, unknown): “Likewise, Zedler and colleagues (2001) reported that the accumulation of plant biomass and nitrogen increased with the number of macro-phyte species in experimental salt marsh plots (see also Engelhardt and Ritchie 2001,2002).”
Indirect facilitation promotes macrophyte survival and growth in freshwater ecosystems threatened by eutrophication (2012, methodology): “Potamogeton pectinatus has filiform leaf morphology and is considered to be a competitive species for nutrient uptake from the sediment (Engelhardt & Richie 2002).”
