Disentangling biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: deriving solutions to a seemingly insurmountable problem (2003, background): “…present in higher diversity communities (e.g. sampling) from results due to the possibility that increasing diversity increases the probability of including species that have complementary functional traits (e.g. complementarity) (Huston 1997; Hector 1998; Lepš et al. 2001; Loreau & Hector 2001).”
Heterotroph species extinction, abundance and biomass dynamics in an experimentally fragmented microecosystem (2002, background): “Selected ecosystem variables are usually measured across gradients of spatially interspersed diversity treatments, often represented by synthetic communities drawn at random from a given species pool (e.g. Tilman et al. 1997b; Hector et al. 1999; Leps et al. 2001).”
Plant species diversity, plant biomass and responses of the soil community on abandoned land across Europe: idiosyncracy or above-belowground time lags (2003, background): “On average the high diversity sown communities suppressed non-sown plants more than the low diversity sown treatments (Van der Putten et al. 2000, Lepsˇ et al. 2001).”
Plant invasions: merging the concepts of species invasiveness and community invasibility (2006, background): “Assemblages with more species are more likely to have some members able to thwart invading species (Grime, 1997; Hooper and Vitousek, 1998; Lepš et al., 2001).”
Bottom–up or top–down control in forest soil microcosms? Effects of soil fauna on fungal biomass and C/N mineralisation (2006, background): “…soil animals can affect decomposition rates by regulating the microbial community and mobilising nutrients from soil organic matter (Faber and Verhoef 1991; Setälä et al. 1991; Kandeler et al. 1999; Hedlund and Sjögren Öhrn 2000; Leps et al. 2001; Liiri et al. 2002; Villenave et al. 2004).”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “For example, home gardens provide a variety of food, medicinal, and construction materials (e.g., Watson and Eyzaguirre 2002), and public management of forests provides for a variety of goods and February 2005 23ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY services, including many that are non-extractive.”
The role of weeds in supporting biological diversity within crop fields (2003, background): “A comparison of low diversity and high diversity seed mixtures, sown on ex-arable land, has indicated that higher plant diversity gave higher productivity and better weed suppression (Van der Putten et al., 2000; Leps et al., 2001).”
Dominant species maintain ecosystem function with non‐random species loss (2003, background): “This contrasts with findings from studies using synthetic communities comprised of random assemblages of species (Tilman et al. 1996, 1997b, 2001; Symstad et al. 1998; Van der Heijden et al. 1998; Hector et al. 1999; Lepš et al. 2001; Loreau et al. 2001).”
Microbial richness and composition independently drive soil multifunctionality (2017, background): “…in composition can act in synergy or opposition to effects of richness in natural (rather than randomly assembled experiments) systems, and thus, the role of different aspects of diversity (composition, richness, identity) remains unclear (Leps, 2004; Lepš et al., 2001; Wardle et al., 1999).”
Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “, 2004; Tiunov & Scheu, 2005), which does not reflect the way natural communities are assembled or disassembled (Lepš et al., 2001).”
