• Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass 

      Daleo, Pedro; Alberti, Juan; Chaneton, Enrique J.; Iribarne, Oscar; Tognetti, Pedro M.; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Bruschetti, Martín; MacDougall, Andrew S.; Pascual, Jesús; Peri, Pablo Luis; Hautier, Yann (Springer Nature, 2023-03-31)
      Plant productivity varies due to environmental heterogeneity, and theory suggests that plant diversity can reduce this variation. While there is strong evidence of diversity effects on temporal variability of productivity, ...
    • General destabilizing effects of eutrophication on grassland productivity at multiple spatial scales 

      Hautier, Yann; Zhang, Pengfei; Loreau, Michel; Wilcox, Kevin R.; Seabloom, Eric William; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Byrnes, Jarrett E.K.; Koerner, Sally E.; Komatsu, Kimberly J.; Lefcheck, Jonathan S.; Hector, Andy; Adler, Peter B.; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Brudvig, Lars A.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Cadotte, Marc.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Carroll, Oliver; Crawley, Mick; Collins, Scott L.; Daleo, Pedro; Dee, Laura E.; Eisenhauer, Nico; Eskelinen, Anu; Fay, Philip A.; Gilbert, Benjamin; Hansar, Amandine; Isbell, Forest; Knops, Johannes M.H.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; Moore, Joslin L.; Morgan, John W.; Mori, Akira S.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Pos, Edwin; Power, Sally A.; Price, Jodi N.; Reich, Peter B.; Risch, Anita C.; Roscher, Christiane; Sankaran, Mahesh; Schütz, Martin; Smith, Melinda D.; Stevens, Carly J.; Tognetti, Pedro Maximiliano; Virtanen, Risto; Wardle, Glenda M.; Wilfahrt, Peter A.; Wang, Shaopeng (Springer Nature, 2020-10-23)
      Eutrophication is a widespread environmental change that usually reduces the stabilizing effect of plant diversity on productivity in local communities. Whether this effect is scale dependent remains to be elucidated. Here, ...
    • Herbivores safeguard plant diversity by reducing variability in dominance 

      Mortensen, Brent; Danielson, Brent; Harpole, William Stanley; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Biederman, Lori; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Cadotte, Marc William; Dwyer, John Matthew; Hagenah, Nicole; Hautier, Yann; Peri, Pablo Luis; Seabloom, Eric William (2018-01)
      Reductions in community evenness can lead to local extinctions as dominant species exclude subordinate species; however, herbivores can prevent competitive exclusion by consuming otherwise dominant plant species, thus ...
    • Linking changes in species composition and biomass in a globally distributed grassland experiment 

      Ladouceur, Emma; Blowes, Shane A.; Chase, Jonathan M.; Clark, Adam T.; Garbowski, Magda; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Barrio, Isabel C.; Bharath, Siddharth; Peri, Pablo Luis; Harpole, Stanley (Wiley, 2022-11-24)
      Global change drivers, such as anthropogenic nutrient inputs, are increasing globally. Nutrient deposition simultaneously alters plant biodiversity, species composition and ecosystem processes like aboveground biomass ...
    • Microbial processing of plant remains is co‐limited by multiple nutrients in global grasslands 

      Ochoa-Hueso, Raúl; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Seabloom, Eric William; Hobbie, Sarah E.; Risch, Anita C.; Collins, Scott L.; Alberti, Juan; Bahamonde, Héctor Alejandro; Brown, Cynthia S.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Daleo, Pedro; Dickman, Chris R.; Ebeling, Anne; Eisenhauer, Nico; Esch, Ellen H.; Eskelinen, Anu; Fernández, Victoria; Güsewell, Sabine; Gutierrez-Larruga, Blanca; Hofmockel, Kirsten; Laungani, Ramesh; Lind, Eric M.; López, Andrea; McCulley, Rebecca L.; Moore, Joslin L.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Power, Sally A.; Price, Jodi N.; Prober, Suzanne M.; Roscher, Christiane; Sarneel, Judith M.; Schütz, Martin; Siebert, Julia; Standish, Rachel J.; Velasco Ayuso, Sergio; Virtanen, Risto; Wardle, Glenda M.; Wiehl, Georg; Yahdjian, Laura; Zamin, Tara (Wiley, 2020-06)
      Microbial processing of aggregate‐unprotected organic matter inputs is key for soil fertility, long‐term ecosystem carbon and nutrient sequestration and sustainable agriculture. We investigated the effects of adding multiple ...
    • Opposing community assembly patterns for dominant and non-dominant plant species in herbaceous ecosystems globally 

      Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Seabloom, Eric William; Alberti, Juan; Baez, Selene; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Boughton, Elizabeth H.; Buckley, Yvonne M.  ; Bugalho, Miguel Nuno; Donohue, Ian; Dwyer, John; Firn, Jennifer; Peri, Pablo Luis; Cadotte, Marc W. (Wiley Ecology and evolution, 2021-11-22)
      Biotic and abiotic factors interact with dominant plants—the locally most frequent or with the largest coverage—and nondominant plants differently, partially because dominant plants modify the environment where nondominant ...
    • Spatial heterogeneity in species composition constrains plant community responses to herbivory and fertilisation 

      Hodapp, Dorothee; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Harpole, William Stanley; Lind, Eric M.; Seabloom, Eric William; Adler, Peter B.; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Biederman, Lori; Cadotte, Marc; Cleland, Elsa E.; Collins, Scott; Fay, Philip A.; Firn, Jennifer L.; Hagenah, Nicole; Hautier, Yann; Iribarne, Oscar; Knops, Johannes M.H.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; Moore, Joslin L.; Morgan, John W.; Mortensen, Brent; La Pierre, Kimberly J.; Risch, Anita C.; Schütz, Martin; Peri, Pablo Luis; Stevens, Carly J.; Wright, Justin P.; Hillebrand, Helmut (Wiley, 2018-09)
      Environmental change can result in substantial shifts in community composition. The associated immigration and extinction events are likely constrained by the spatial distribution of species. Still, studies on environmental ...
