Impacts of nitrogen addition on plant species richness and abundance: A global meta‐analysis (2018, background): “Chase (2010) found that higher beta di‐ versity (specifically, spatial turnover) in more productive mesocosms yielded higher overall (gamma) diversity at greater nutrient levels.”
A functional trait-based approach to understand community assembly and diversity-productivity relationships over 7 years in experimental grasslands (2013, background): “Therefore, environmental filtering is expected to decrease within-community functional trait differentiation and lead to trait convergence among communities (Mouillot et al., 2007; Chase, 2010).”
Assembly history alters alpha and beta diversity, exotic–native proportions and functioning of restored prairie plant communities (2012, background): “We found higher biodiversity overall at the more productive site, similar to Chase (2010).”
Rethinking Community Assembly through the Lens of Coexistence Theory (2012, background): “However, we emphasize that the conceptual topics reviewed here are relevant to all communities of interacting and competing organisms (e.g., Helmus et al. 2007, Horner-Devine et al. 2007, Chase 2010, Fukami et al. 2010).”
Topography related habitat associations of tree species traits, composition and diversity in a Chinese tropical forest (2014, background): “001 clear that topographical variables are significantly shaping the species and traits distributions in both plots, with the remaining variance possibly related to other clustering processes such as soil and light resources, and dispersal limitation (Chase, 2010; Baldeck et al., 2013).”
Inferring community assembly mechanisms from functional diversity patterns: the importance of multiple assembly processes (2012, background): “However, priority effects have been generally found to be more prominent in higher productivity environments (Chase 2010), and we suspect the increased variability in stressful environments is likely due to functional redundancy and neutral trade-offs among functional traits rather than mechanisms…”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “Also, higher -diversity was observed in the ponds with greater productivity, suggesting that stochasticity increases with greater productivity (producers and small animals) (31).”
On some hypotheses of diversity of animal life at great depths on the sea floor (2015, background): “The PDR is well explored, both empirically and theoretically (e.g. Rosenzweig & Abramsky 1993; Chase & Ryberg 2004; Cardinale et al. 2009; Chase 2010), but arguably poorly tested.”
PAPER Community assembly processes shape an altitudinal gradient of forest biodiversity (2013, background): “The factors driving variations in b-diversity are among the most important but also the most poorly understood influences on global variations in biodiversity (Chase, 2010; Qian et al., 2012).”
Historical Contingency in Community Assembly: Integrating Niches, Species Pools, and Priority Effects (2015, background): “High productivity (high rate of supply of energy and nutrients) can also increase the importance of priority effects, presumably because higher productivity generally leads to a higher rate of population growth (Chase 2010, Kardol et al. 2013, Vannette & Fukami 2014).”
Understorey diversity in southern boreal forests is regulated by productivity and its indirect impacts on resource availability and heterogeneity (2012, background): “Although consensus remains elusive, it seems likely that patterns vary with both hierarchical and spatial scale, with differentmechanismsexplainingpatternsatdifferent scales (Chase & Leibold 2002; Rajaniemi 2003; Oberle, Grace &Chase 2009; Chase 2010).”
