Abstract
Hector et al . ([1][1]) reported on BIODEPTH, a major international experiment on the response of plant productivity to variation in the number of plant species. They found “an overall log-linear reduction of average aboveground biomass with loss of species,” leading to what the accompanyingThis publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
