Impacts of Biodiversity Loss Escalate Through Time as Redundancy Fades
- P. Reich, D. Tilman, +4 authors N. Eisenhauer
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 4 May 2012
Give It Time Experimental ecological studies in recent years have provided a great deal of insight into how species diversify and influence ecosystem properties, but in most cases the experiments… Expand
Plant diversity effects on soil microorganisms support the singular hypothesis.
- N. Eisenhauer, H. Bessler, +10 authors S. Scheu
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology
- 1 February 2010
The global decline in biodiversity has generated concern over the consequences for ecosystem functioning and services. Although ecosystem functions driven by soil microorganisms such as plant… Expand
Plant diversity increases soil microbial activity and soil carbon storage.
- M. Lange, N. Eisenhauer, +11 authors G. Gleixner
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 7 April 2015
Plant diversity strongly influences ecosystem functions and services, such as soil carbon storage. However, the mechanisms underlying the positive plant diversity effects on soil carbon storage are… Expand
Biodiversity enhances ecosystem multifunctionality across trophic levels and habitats
- J. Lefcheck, Jarrett E K Byrnes, +7 authors J. E. Duffy
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 24 April 2015
The importance of biodiversity for the integrated functioning of ecosystems remains unclear because most evidence comes from analyses of biodiversity's effect on individual functions. Here we show… Expand
Bottom-up effects of plant diversity on multitrophic interactions in a biodiversity experiment
- C. Scherber, N. Eisenhauer, +37 authors T. Tscharntke
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 25 November 2010
Biodiversity is rapidly declining, and this may negatively affect ecosystem processes, including economically important ecosystem services. Previous studies have shown that biodiversity has positive… Expand
Invasion of a deciduous forest by earthworms : Changes in soil chemistry, microflora, microarthropods and vegetation
- N. Eisenhauer, S. Partsch, Dennis Parkinson, S. Scheu
- Environmental Science
- 1 May 2007
Abstract Ecosystems of northern North America existed without earthworm fauna until European settlers arrived and introduced European species. The current extent of invasion by some of these species,… Expand
Biodiversity increases the resistance of ecosystem productivity to climate extremes
- F. Isbell, D. Craven, +34 authors N. Eisenhauer
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 22 October 2015
It remains unclear whether biodiversity buffers ecosystems against climate extremes, which are becoming increasingly frequent worldwide. Early results suggested that the ecosystem productivity of… Expand
Global change belowground: impacts of elevated CO2, nitrogen, and summer drought on soil food webs and biodiversity
- N. Eisenhauer, S. Cesarz, R. Koller, Kally Worm, P. Reich
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 2012
The world's ecosystems are subjected to various anthropogenic global change agents, such as enrichment of atmospheric CO2 concentrations, nitrogen (N) deposition, and changes in precipitation… Expand
Mechanisms linking plant community properties to soil aggregate stability in an experimental grassland plant diversity gradient
- G. Pérès, D. Cluzeau, +9 authors N. Eisenhauer
- Environmental Science
- Plant and Soil
- 14 June 2013
Background and aimsSoil aggregate stability depends on plant community properties, such as functional group composition, diversity and biomass production. However, little is known about the relative… Expand
Using earthworms as model organisms in the laboratory: Recommendations for experimental implementations
- H. Fründ, K. R. Butt, +6 authors S. Schrader
- 10 March 2010
Earthworms are used in an increasing number of microcosm experiments that investigate their behaviour and biology or that consider earthworms an environmental factor that influences soil properties… Expand
