Mixed evidence for species diversity affecting ecological forecasts in constant versus declining light

This study investigates how species diversity affects ecological forecasts under constant and declining light conditions, finding mixed evidence of an interactive effect on forecast accuracy.

Diversity loss selects for altered plant phenotypic responses to local arbuscular mycorrhizal communities

The paper shows that plant diversity loss alters growth and defence responses to local arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities, with species-specific effects.

Community evolution increases plant productivity at low diversity

The paper shows that plant community evolution enhances productivity at low diversity but not at high diversity, with no effect from simulated co-evolutionary processes.

Selection in response to community diversity alters plant performance and functional traits

The paper shows that twelve years of selection history in monocultures or mixtures differentiates plants into monoculture- and mixture-types, affecting biomass and biodiversity effects.
