(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016-01-29)
      Fraser et al. (Reports, 17 July 2015, p. 302) report a unimodal relationship between productivity and species richness at regional and global scales, which they contrast with the results of Adler et al. (Reports, 23 September ...
    • Compositional variation in grassland plant communities 

      Bakker, Jonathan D.; Price, Jodi N.; Henning, Jeremiah A.; Batzer, Evan E.; Ohlert, Timothy J.; Wainwright, Claire E.; Adler, Peter B.; Alberti, Juan.; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Biederman, Lori A.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Wardle, Glenda M. (Ecological Society of America, 2023-06-08)
      Human activities are altering ecological communities around the globe. Understanding the implications of these changes requires that we consider the composition of those communities. However, composition can be summarized ...
    • Nothing lasts forever: Dominant species decline under rapid environmental change in global grasslands 

      Wilfahrt, Peter A.; Seabloom, Eric William; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Biederman, Lori A.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Cadotte, Marc W.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Catford, Jane A.; Chen, Qingqing; Donohue, Ian; Peri, Pablo Luis; Borer, Elizabeth T. (British Ecological Society, 2023-11)
      1. Dominance often indicates one or a few species being best suited for resource capture and retention in a given environment. Press perturbations that change availability of limiting resources can restructure competitive ...
    • Nutrient enrichment increases invertebrate herbivory and pathogen damage in grasslands 

      Ebeling, Anne; Strauss, Alex T.; Adler, Peter B.; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Barrio, Isabel C.; Biederman, Lori A.; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Cadotte, Marc W.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Blumenthal, Dana M. (British Ecological Society, 2022-02)
      1- Plant damage by invertebrate herbivores and pathogens influences the dynamics of grassland ecosystems, but anthropogenic changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability can modify these relationships. 2- Using a globally ...
    • The positive effect of plant diversity on soil carbon depends on climate 

      Spohn, Marie; Bagchi, Sumanta; Biederman, Lori A.; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Bråthen, Kari Anne; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Catford, Jane A.; Collins, Scott L.; Eisenhauer, Nico; Peri, Pablo Luis; Yahdjian, Laura (Springer Nature, 2023-10-19)
      Little is currently known about how climate modulates the relationship between plant diversity and soil organic carbon and the mechanisms involved. Yet, this knowledge is of crucial importance in times of climate change ...
