Towards a trait-based quantification of species niche (2009, background): “2009), while root biomass may be another functional effect trait of the depletion effects of plants on soil nitrogen availability (e.g. Wedin and Tilman 1993; Fargione and Tilman 2006).”
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in a 15-year grassland experiment: Patterns, mechanisms, and open questions (2017, background): “…highest amount of biomass produced per unit N; Roscher, Thein, Schmid, & Scherer-Lorenzen 2008), which is consistent with resource-competition theory predicting the dominance of species with greatest ability to efficiently acquire and use limiting resources (Tilman 1990; Fargione & Tilman 2006).”
Mechanisms of plant competition for nutrients, water and light (2013, background): “Fargione & Tilman (2006) tested the relative power of metrics derived from concentration reduction hypotheses (soil inorganic nutrient concentrations) and supply pre-emption hypotheses (soil root length density) to explain the relative abundance of different grassland species in experimental…”
Are competitive effect and response two sides of the same coin, or fundamentally different? (2010, unknown): “When resources are limited, a plant’s competitive ability may influence a plant’s ability to survive, grow, and reproduce (Fargione & Tilman 2006; Wilson & Keddy 1986; but see Neytcheva & Aarssen 2008).”
Complementary nitrogen use among potentially dominant species in a biodiversity experiment varies between two years (2008, methodology): “The higher biomass proportions of species with larger biomass : N ratios are consistent with resourcecompetition theory that predicts the dominance of species which are able to efficiently acquire and use limiting resources (Tilman 1990; Fargione & Tilman 2006; Harpole & Tilman 2006).”
Root depth distribution and the diversity–productivity relationship in a long‐term grassland experiment (2013, background): “…to C3 grasses and forbs, the extensive root systems and low N tissues of C4 grasses probably allow greater uptake of legumederived N and more efficient conversion of this N into biomass (HilleRisLambers et al. 2004, Fargione and Tilman 2005b, 2006, Fargione et al. 2007, Fornara and Tilman 2008).”
