Given are both the measures integrated over whole ecosystems (total network measures) as well as the energy dynamics associated with individual ecosystem compartments including the entire biological community and detrital compartments across the above- and belowground parts of the ecosystem.Data presented here is from the Main Experiment plots of a large grassland biodiversity experiment (the Jena Experiment, see further details below). In the main experiment, 82 grassland plots of 20 x 20 m were established from a pool of 60 species belonging to four functional groups (grasses, legumes, tall and small herbs). In May 2002, varying numbers of plant species from this species pool were sown into the plots to create a gradient of plant species richness (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 60 species) and functional richness (1, 2, 3, 4 functional groups). Study plots are grouped in four blocks in parallel to the river in order to account for any effect of a gradient in abiotic soil properties. Each block contains an equal number of plots of each plant species richness and plant functional group richness level. Plots were maintained in general by bi-annual weeding and mowing. Since 2010, plot size was reduced to 5.5 x 6 m and plots were weeded three times per year.Trophic-network models were constructed for 80 of the experimental plots, and represent the ecosystem energy budget in the currency of dry-mass (g m-2 for standing stocks and g m-2 d-1 for flows). All trophic networks have the same topology, but they differ in the estimated size of the standing stock biomass of individual compartments (g m-2) and flows among the compartments (g m-2 d-1). Each trophic network contains twelve ecosystem compartments representing distinct trophic groups of the above- and belowground parts of the ecosystem (i.e., plants, soil microbial community, and above- and belowground herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, all represented by invertebrate macro- and mesofauna) and detrital pools (i.e., surface litter and soil organic matter). Vertebrates were not considered in our study due to limitations of data availability and because the impact of resident vertebrates in our experimental system is expected to be minimal. Larger grazing vertebrates were excluded by a fence around the field site, though there was some occasional grazing by voles.Compartments are connected by 41 flows. Flows (fluxes) constitute 30 internal flows within the system, namely feeding (herbivory, predation, decomposition), excretion, mortality, and mechanical transformation of surface litter due to bioturbation plus eleven 11 external flows, i.e. one input (flows entering the system, namely carbon uptake by plants) and ten output flows (flows leaving the system, namely respiration losses). The ecosystem inflow (a flow entering the system) and outflows (flows leaving the system) represent carbon uptake and respiration losses, respectively. In the case of consumer groups, the food consumed (compartment-wide input flow) is further split into excretion (not assimilated organic material that is returned to detrital pools in the form of fecesfaeces) and assimilated organic material, which is further split into respiration (energy lost out of the system to the environment) and biomass production, which is further consumed by higher trophic levels due to predation or returned to detrital pools in the form of mortality (natural mortality or prey residues). In case of detrital pools (i.e. surface litter and soil organic matter), the input flows are in the form of excretion and mortality from the biota compartments, and output flows are in the form of feeding by decomposers and soil microorganisms (i.e. decomposition). Surface litter and soil organic matter are connected by flows in the form of burrowing (mechanical transportation) of organic material from the surface to the soil by soil fauna. Organism immigration and emigration are not considered in our study due to limited data availability.Flows were quantified using resource processing rates (i.e. the feeding rates at which material is taken from a source) multiplied with the standing biomass of the respective source compartment. To approximate resource processing rates, different approaches were used: (i) experimental measurements (namely the aboveground decomposition, fauna burial activity (bioturbation), microbial respiration, and aboveground herbivory and predation rates); (ii) allometric equations scaled by individual body mass, environmental temperature and phylogenetic group (for the above- and belowground fauna respiration rates and plant respiration); (iii) assimilation rates scaled by diet type (for quantification of belowground fauna excretion and natural mortality); (iv) literature-based rates scaled by biomass of trophic groups (for microbial mortality); and (v) mass-balance assumptions (carbon uptake, plant and aboveground fauna mortality, belowground decomposition, belowground herbivory, and belowground predation). Mass-balance assumption means that the flows are calculated assuming that resource inputs into the compartment (i.e. feeding) balance the rate at which material is lost (i.e. the sum of through excretion, respiration, predation, and natural death). We used constrained nonlinear multivariable optimization to perturb the initial flow rates estimated from the various sources. We assigned confidence ratings for each flow rate, reflecting the quality of empirical data it is based on. We then used the 'fmincon' function from Matlab's optimization toolbox, which utilizes the standard Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse approach to achieve a balanced steady state ecological network model that best reflects the collected field data. Measured data used to parameterize the trophic network models were collected mostly in the year 2010.Network-wide measures that quantify proxies for different aspects of multitrophic ecosystem functioning were calculated for each experimental plot using the 'enaR' package in R. In particular, total energy flow was measured as the sum of all flows through each ecosystem compartment. Flow uniformity was calculated as the ratio of the mean of summed flows through each individual ecosystem compartment divided by the standard deviation of these means. Total-network standing biomass was determined as the sum of standing biomass across all ecosystem compartments. Community maintenance costs were calculated as the ratio of community-wide respiration related to community-wide biomass.

AbstractForests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system1. Remote-sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global forests2–5 are characterized by considerable uncertainty and we lack a comprehensive ground-sourced evaluation to benchmark these estimates. Here we combine several ground-sourced6 and satellite-derived approaches2,7,8 to evaluate the scale of the global forest carbon potential outside agricultural and urban lands. Despite regional variation, the predictions demonstrated remarkable consistency at a global scale, with only a 12% difference between the ground-sourced and satellite-derived estimates. At present, global forest carbon storage is markedly under the natural potential, with a total deficit of 226 Gt (model range = 151–363 Gt) in areas with low human footprint. Most (61%, 139 Gt C) of this potential is in areas with existing forests, in which ecosystem protection can allow forests to recover to maturity. The remaining 39% (87 Gt C) of potential lies in regions in which forests have been removed or fragmented. Although forests cannot be a substitute for emissions reductions, our results support the idea2,3,9 that the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of diverse forests offer valuable contributions to meeting global climate and biodiversity targets.

Summary Plants respond to resource stress by changing multiple aspects of their biomass allocation, morphology, physiology and architecture. To date, we lack an integrated view of the relative importance of these plastic responses in alleviating resource stress and of the consistency/variability of these responses among species. We subjected nine species (legumes, forbs and graminoids) to nitrogen and/or light shortages and measured 11 above‐ground and below‐ground trait adjustments critical in the alleviation of these stresses (plus several underlying traits). Nine traits out of 11 showed adjustments that improved plants’ potential capacity to acquire the limiting resource at a given time. Above ground, aspects of plasticity in allocation, morphology, physiology and architecture all appeared important in improving light capture, whereas below ground, plasticity in allocation and physiology were most critical to improving nitrogen acquisition. Six traits out of 11 showed substantial heterogeneity in species plasticity, with little structuration of these differences within trait covariation syndromes. Such comprehensive assessment of the complex nature of phenotypic responses of plants to multiple stress factors, and the comparison of plant responses across multiple species, makes a clear case for the high (but largely overlooked) diversity of potential plastic responses of plants, and for the need to explore the potential rules structuring them.

Background Loss of biodiversity and increased nutrient inputs are two of the most crucial anthropogenic factors driving ecosystem change. Although both received considerable attention in previous studies, information on their interactive effects on ecosystem functioning is scarce. In particular, little is known on how soil biota and their functions are affected by combined changes in plant diversity and fertilization. Methodology/Principal Findings We investigated the effects of plant diversity, functional community composition, and fertilization on the biomass and respiration of soil microbial communities in a long-term biodiversity experiment in semi-natural grassland (Jena Experiment). Plant species richness enhanced microbial basal respiration and microbial biomass, but did not significantly affect microbial specific respiration. In contrast, the presence of legumes and fertilization significantly decreased microbial specific respiration, without altering microbial biomass. The effect of legumes was superimposed by fertilization as indicated by a significant interaction between the presence of legumes and fertilization. Further, changes in microbial stoichiometry (C-to-N ratio) and specific respiration suggest the presence of legumes to reduce N limitation of soil microorganisms and to modify microbial C use efficiency. Conclusions/Significance Our study highlights the role of plant species and functional group diversity as well as interactions between plant community composition and fertilizer application for soil microbial functions. Our results suggest soil microbial stoichiometry to be a powerful indicator of microbial functioning under N limited conditions. Although our results support the notion that plant diversity and fertilizer application independently affect microbial functioning, legume effects on microbial N limitation were superimposed by fertilization, indicating significant interactions between the functional composition of plant communities and nutrient inputs for soil processes.

Link; Laura Rose; Jürgen Bauhus; Kyle R. Kovach;AbstractUnprecedented tree dieback across Central Europe caused by recent global change‐type drought events highlights the need for a better mechanistic understanding of drought‐induced tree mortality. Although numerous physiological risk factors have been identified, the importance of two principal mechanisms, hydraulic failure and carbon starvation, is still debated. It further remains largely unresolved how the local neighborhood composition affects individual mortality risk. We studied 9435 young trees of 12 temperate species planted in a diversity experiment in 2013 to assess how hydraulic traits, carbon dynamics, pest infestation, tree height and neighborhood competition influence individual mortality risk. Following the most extreme global change‐type drought since record in 2018, one third of these trees died. Across species, hydraulic safety margins (HSMs) were negatively and a shift towards a higher sugar fraction in the non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) pool positively associated with mortality risk. Moreover, trees infested by bark beetles had a higher mortality risk, and taller trees a lower mortality risk. Most neighborhood interactions were beneficial, although neighborhood effects were highly species‐specific. Species that suffered more from drought, especially Larix spp. and Betula spp., tended to increase the survival probability of their neighbors and vice versa. While severe tissue dehydration marks the final stage of drought‐induced tree mortality, we show that hydraulic failure is interrelated with a series of other, mutually inclusive processes. These include shifts in NSC pools driven by osmotic adjustment and/or starch depletion as well as pest infestation and are modulated by the size and species identity of a tree and its neighbors. A more holistic view that accounts for multiple causes of drought‐induced tree mortality is required to improve predictions of trends in global forest dynamics and to identify mutually beneficial species combinations.

AbstractTheory predicts a positive relationship between biodiversity and stability in ecosystem properties, while diversity is expected to have a negative impact on stability at the species level. We used virtual experiments based on a dynamic simulation model to test for the diversity–stability relationship and its underlying mechanisms in Central European forests. First our results show that variability in productivity between stands differing in species composition decreases as species richness and functional diversity increase. Second we show temporal stability increases with increasing diversity due to compensatory dynamics across species, supporting the biodiversity insurance hypothesis. We demonstrate that this pattern is mainly driven by the asynchrony of species responses to small disturbances rather than to environmental fluctuations, and is only weakly affected by the net biodiversity effect on productivity. Furthermore, our results suggest that compensatory dynamics between species may enhance ecosystem stability through an optimisation of canopy occupancy by coexisting species.

Smith;AbstractThe area of forest plantations is increasing worldwide helping to meet timber demand and protect natural forests. However, with global change, monospecific plantations are increasingly vulnerable to abiotic and biotic disturbances. As an adaption measure we need to move to plantations that are more diverse in genotypes, species, and structure, with a design underpinned by science. TreeDivNet, a global network of tree diversity experiments, responds to this need by assessing the advantages and disadvantages of mixed species plantations. The network currently consists of 18 experiments, distributed over 36 sites and five ecoregions. With plantations 1–15 years old, TreeDivNet can already provide relevant data for forest policy and management. In this paper, we highlight some early results on the carbon sequestration and pest resistance potential of more diverse plantations. Finally, suggestions are made for new, innovative experiments in understudied regions to complement the existing network.

Macroclimate control over this critical C flux facilitates the parametrization of the C cycle in Earth system models and the understanding of climate change effects on the global C balance. Yet, the long-standing paradigm of climate control was recently challenged by the so far underestimated environmental heterogeneity at local scales, questioning the conceptual framework of thousands of decomposition studies and accuracy of current predictive models. Using three complementary decomposition experiments at a European scale, we showed that macroclimate and litter characteristics largely control plant litter decomposition, reaffirming the role of macroclimate as an integrative decomposition driver through direct environmental control and by influencing co-evolving local plant and decomposer communities. Neglecting this latter indirect effect, commonly used standard litter types overrated micro-environmental control and failed to predict local decomposition of plot-specific litter. Our data help clarify a key question on the regulation of the global C cycle by identifying the relative role of control factors over decomposition and the scales at which they matter and by highlighting sources of confusion in the literature.

Barry; Bernhard Schmid; Yongfei Bai; Gerlinde B. De Deyn; Liesje Mommer; Hans de Kroon; Alexandra J. Wright; John Connolly; Alexandru Milcu; Alexandru Milcu;Evidence suggests that biodiversity supports ecosystem functioning. Yet, the mechanisms driving this relationship remain unclear. Complementarity is one common explanation for these positive biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. Yet, complementarity is often indirectly quantified as overperformance in mixture relative to monoculture (e.g., 'complementarity effect'). This overperformance is then attributed to the intuitive idea of complementarity or, more specifically, to species resource partitioning. Locally, however, several unassociated causes may drive this overperformance. Here, we differentiate complementarity into three types of species differences that may cause enhanced ecosystem functioning in more diverse ecosystems: (i) resource partitioning, (ii) abiotic facilitation, and (iii) biotic feedbacks. We argue that disentangling these three causes is crucial for predicting the response of ecosystems to future biodiversity loss.

Tree diversity improves forest productivity Experimental studies in grasslands have shown that the loss of species has negative consequences for ecosystem functioning. Is the same true for forests? Huang et al. report the first results from a large biodiversity experiment in a subtropical forest in China. The study combines many replicates, realistic tree densities, and large plot sizes with a wide range of species richness levels. After 8 years of the experiment, the findings suggest strong positive effects of tree diversity on forest productivity and carbon accumulation. Thus, changing from monocultures to more mixed forests could benefit both restoration of biodiversity and mitigation of climate change. Science , this issue p. 80

Given are both the measures integrated over whole ecosystems (total network measures) as well as the energy dynamics associated with individual ecosystem compartments including the entire biological community and detrital compartments across the above- and belowground parts of the ecosystem.Data presented here is from the Main Experiment plots of a large grassland biodiversity experiment (the Jena Experiment, see further details below). In the main experiment, 82 grassland plots of 20 x 20 m were established from a pool of 60 species belonging to four functional groups (grasses, legumes, tall and small herbs). In May 2002, varying numbers of plant species from this species pool were sown into the plots to create a gradient of plant species richness (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 60 species) and functional richness (1, 2, 3, 4 functional groups). Study plots are grouped in four blocks in parallel to the river in order to account for any effect of a gradient in abiotic soil properties. Each block contains an equal number of plots of each plant species richness and plant functional group richness level. Plots were maintained in general by bi-annual weeding and mowing. Since 2010, plot size was reduced to 5.5 x 6 m and plots were weeded three times per year.Trophic-network models were constructed for 80 of the experimental plots, and represent the ecosystem energy budget in the currency of dry-mass (g m-2 for standing stocks and g m-2 d-1 for flows). All trophic networks have the same topology, but they differ in the estimated size of the standing stock biomass of individual compartments (g m-2) and flows among the compartments (g m-2 d-1). Each trophic network contains twelve ecosystem compartments representing distinct trophic groups of the above- and belowground parts of the ecosystem (i.e., plants, soil microbial community, and above- and belowground herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, all represented by invertebrate macro- and mesofauna) and detrital pools (i.e., surface litter and soil organic matter). Vertebrates were not considered in our study due to limitations of data availability and because the impact of resident vertebrates in our experimental system is expected to be minimal. Larger grazing vertebrates were excluded by a fence around the field site, though there was some occasional grazing by voles.Compartments are connected by 41 flows. Flows (fluxes) constitute 30 internal flows within the system, namely feeding (herbivory, predation, decomposition), excretion, mortality, and mechanical transformation of surface litter due to bioturbation plus eleven 11 external flows, i.e. one input (flows entering the system, namely carbon uptake by plants) and ten output flows (flows leaving the system, namely respiration losses). The ecosystem inflow (a flow entering the system) and outflows (flows leaving the system) represent carbon uptake and respiration losses, respectively. In the case of consumer groups, the food consumed (compartment-wide input flow) is further split into excretion (not assimilated organic material that is returned to detrital pools in the form of fecesfaeces) and assimilated organic material, which is further split into respiration (energy lost out of the system to the environment) and biomass production, which is further consumed by higher trophic levels due to predation or returned to detrital pools in the form of mortality (natural mortality or prey residues). In case of detrital pools (i.e. surface litter and soil organic matter), the input flows are in the form of excretion and mortality from the biota compartments, and output flows are in the form of feeding by decomposers and soil microorganisms (i.e. decomposition). Surface litter and soil organic matter are connected by flows in the form of burrowing (mechanical transportation) of organic material from the surface to the soil by soil fauna. Organism immigration and emigration are not considered in our study due to limited data availability.Flows were quantified using resource processing rates (i.e. the feeding rates at which material is taken from a source) multiplied with the standing biomass of the respective source compartment. To approximate resource processing rates, different approaches were used: (i) experimental measurements (namely the aboveground decomposition, fauna burial activity (bioturbation), microbial respiration, and aboveground herbivory and predation rates); (ii) allometric equations scaled by individual body mass, environmental temperature and phylogenetic group (for the above- and belowground fauna respiration rates and plant respiration); (iii) assimilation rates scaled by diet type (for quantification of belowground fauna excretion and natural mortality); (iv) literature-based rates scaled by biomass of trophic groups (for microbial mortality); and (v) mass-balance assumptions (carbon uptake, plant and aboveground fauna mortality, belowground decomposition, belowground herbivory, and belowground predation). Mass-balance assumption means that the flows are calculated assuming that resource inputs into the compartment (i.e. feeding) balance the rate at which material is lost (i.e. the sum of through excretion, respiration, predation, and natural death). We used constrained nonlinear multivariable optimization to perturb the initial flow rates estimated from the various sources. We assigned confidence ratings for each flow rate, reflecting the quality of empirical data it is based on. We then used the 'fmincon' function from Matlab's optimization toolbox, which utilizes the standard Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse approach to achieve a balanced steady state ecological network model that best reflects the collected field data. Measured data used to parameterize the trophic network models were collected mostly in the year 2010.Network-wide measures that quantify proxies for different aspects of multitrophic ecosystem functioning were calculated for each experimental plot using the 'enaR' package in R. In particular, total energy flow was measured as the sum of all flows through each ecosystem compartment. Flow uniformity was calculated as the ratio of the mean of summed flows through each individual ecosystem compartment divided by the standard deviation of these means. Total-network standing biomass was determined as the sum of standing biomass across all ecosystem compartments. Community maintenance costs were calculated as the ratio of community-wide respiration related to community-wide biomass.

Nature Ecology & Evolution Most of the data used to parameterize these trophic networks were collected in 2010.A diagram depicting the conceptual trophic-network model developed to describe multitrophic ecosystem functioning can be found in the paper (REF to the NEE paper). This paper also shows the relationship between the individual flows and compartment sizes as well as the network-wide measures with plant species richness. Further sensitivity analyses for the influence of including the highest diversity level are also provided in the paper.

AbstractForests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system1. Remote-sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global forests2–5 are characterized by considerable uncertainty and we lack a comprehensive ground-sourced evaluation to benchmark these estimates. Here we combine several ground-sourced6 and satellite-derived approaches2,7,8 to evaluate the scale of the global forest carbon potential outside agricultural and urban lands. Despite regional variation, the predictions demonstrated remarkable consistency at a global scale, with only a 12% difference between the ground-sourced and satellite-derived estimates. At present, global forest carbon storage is markedly under the natural potential, with a total deficit of 226 Gt (model range = 151–363 Gt) in areas with low human footprint. Most (61%, 139 Gt C) of this potential is in areas with existing forests, in which ecosystem protection can allow forests to recover to maturity. The remaining 39% (87 Gt C) of potential lies in regions in which forests have been removed or fragmented. Although forests cannot be a substitute for emissions reductions, our results support the idea2,3,9 that the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of diverse forests offer valuable contributions to meeting global climate and biodiversity targets.

Summary Plants respond to resource stress by changing multiple aspects of their biomass allocation, morphology, physiology and architecture. To date, we lack an integrated view of the relative importance of these plastic responses in alleviating resource stress and of the consistency/variability of these responses among species. We subjected nine species (legumes, forbs and graminoids) to nitrogen and/or light shortages and measured 11 above‐ground and below‐ground trait adjustments critical in the alleviation of these stresses (plus several underlying traits). Nine traits out of 11 showed adjustments that improved plants’ potential capacity to acquire the limiting resource at a given time. Above ground, aspects of plasticity in allocation, morphology, physiology and architecture all appeared important in improving light capture, whereas below ground, plasticity in allocation and physiology were most critical to improving nitrogen acquisition. Six traits out of 11 showed substantial heterogeneity in species plasticity, with little structuration of these differences within trait covariation syndromes. Such comprehensive assessment of the complex nature of phenotypic responses of plants to multiple stress factors, and the comparison of plant responses across multiple species, makes a clear case for the high (but largely overlooked) diversity of potential plastic responses of plants, and for the need to explore the potential rules structuring them.

Background Loss of biodiversity and increased nutrient inputs are two of the most crucial anthropogenic factors driving ecosystem change. Although both received considerable attention in previous studies, information on their interactive effects on ecosystem functioning is scarce. In particular, little is known on how soil biota and their functions are affected by combined changes in plant diversity and fertilization. Methodology/Principal Findings We investigated the effects of plant diversity, functional community composition, and fertilization on the biomass and respiration of soil microbial communities in a long-term biodiversity experiment in semi-natural grassland (Jena Experiment). Plant species richness enhanced microbial basal respiration and microbial biomass, but did not significantly affect microbial specific respiration. In contrast, the presence of legumes and fertilization significantly decreased microbial specific respiration, without altering microbial biomass. The effect of legumes was superimposed by fertilization as indicated by a significant interaction between the presence of legumes and fertilization. Further, changes in microbial stoichiometry (C-to-N ratio) and specific respiration suggest the presence of legumes to reduce N limitation of soil microorganisms and to modify microbial C use efficiency. Conclusions/Significance Our study highlights the role of plant species and functional group diversity as well as interactions between plant community composition and fertilizer application for soil microbial functions. Our results suggest soil microbial stoichiometry to be a powerful indicator of microbial functioning under N limited conditions. Although our results support the notion that plant diversity and fertilizer application independently affect microbial functioning, legume effects on microbial N limitation were superimposed by fertilization, indicating significant interactions between the functional composition of plant communities and nutrient inputs for soil processes.

Link; Laura Rose; Jürgen Bauhus; Kyle R. Kovach;AbstractUnprecedented tree dieback across Central Europe caused by recent global change‐type drought events highlights the need for a better mechanistic understanding of drought‐induced tree mortality. Although numerous physiological risk factors have been identified, the importance of two principal mechanisms, hydraulic failure and carbon starvation, is still debated. It further remains largely unresolved how the local neighborhood composition affects individual mortality risk. We studied 9435 young trees of 12 temperate species planted in a diversity experiment in 2013 to assess how hydraulic traits, carbon dynamics, pest infestation, tree height and neighborhood competition influence individual mortality risk. Following the most extreme global change‐type drought since record in 2018, one third of these trees died. Across species, hydraulic safety margins (HSMs) were negatively and a shift towards a higher sugar fraction in the non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) pool positively associated with mortality risk. Moreover, trees infested by bark beetles had a higher mortality risk, and taller trees a lower mortality risk. Most neighborhood interactions were beneficial, although neighborhood effects were highly species‐specific. Species that suffered more from drought, especially Larix spp. and Betula spp., tended to increase the survival probability of their neighbors and vice versa. While severe tissue dehydration marks the final stage of drought‐induced tree mortality, we show that hydraulic failure is interrelated with a series of other, mutually inclusive processes. These include shifts in NSC pools driven by osmotic adjustment and/or starch depletion as well as pest infestation and are modulated by the size and species identity of a tree and its neighbors. A more holistic view that accounts for multiple causes of drought‐induced tree mortality is required to improve predictions of trends in global forest dynamics and to identify mutually beneficial species combinations.

AbstractTheory predicts a positive relationship between biodiversity and stability in ecosystem properties, while diversity is expected to have a negative impact on stability at the species level. We used virtual experiments based on a dynamic simulation model to test for the diversity–stability relationship and its underlying mechanisms in Central European forests. First our results show that variability in productivity between stands differing in species composition decreases as species richness and functional diversity increase. Second we show temporal stability increases with increasing diversity due to compensatory dynamics across species, supporting the biodiversity insurance hypothesis. We demonstrate that this pattern is mainly driven by the asynchrony of species responses to small disturbances rather than to environmental fluctuations, and is only weakly affected by the net biodiversity effect on productivity. Furthermore, our results suggest that compensatory dynamics between species may enhance ecosystem stability through an optimisation of canopy occupancy by coexisting species.

Smith;AbstractThe area of forest plantations is increasing worldwide helping to meet timber demand and protect natural forests. However, with global change, monospecific plantations are increasingly vulnerable to abiotic and biotic disturbances. As an adaption measure we need to move to plantations that are more diverse in genotypes, species, and structure, with a design underpinned by science. TreeDivNet, a global network of tree diversity experiments, responds to this need by assessing the advantages and disadvantages of mixed species plantations. The network currently consists of 18 experiments, distributed over 36 sites and five ecoregions. With plantations 1–15 years old, TreeDivNet can already provide relevant data for forest policy and management. In this paper, we highlight some early results on the carbon sequestration and pest resistance potential of more diverse plantations. Finally, suggestions are made for new, innovative experiments in understudied regions to complement the existing network.

Macroclimate control over this critical C flux facilitates the parametrization of the C cycle in Earth system models and the understanding of climate change effects on the global C balance. Yet, the long-standing paradigm of climate control was recently challenged by the so far underestimated environmental heterogeneity at local scales, questioning the conceptual framework of thousands of decomposition studies and accuracy of current predictive models. Using three complementary decomposition experiments at a European scale, we showed that macroclimate and litter characteristics largely control plant litter decomposition, reaffirming the role of macroclimate as an integrative decomposition driver through direct environmental control and by influencing co-evolving local plant and decomposer communities. Neglecting this latter indirect effect, commonly used standard litter types overrated micro-environmental control and failed to predict local decomposition of plot-specific litter. Our data help clarify a key question on the regulation of the global C cycle by identifying the relative role of control factors over decomposition and the scales at which they matter and by highlighting sources of confusion in the literature.

Barry; Bernhard Schmid; Yongfei Bai; Gerlinde B. De Deyn; Liesje Mommer; Hans de Kroon; Alexandra J. Wright; John Connolly; Alexandru Milcu; Alexandru Milcu;Evidence suggests that biodiversity supports ecosystem functioning. Yet, the mechanisms driving this relationship remain unclear. Complementarity is one common explanation for these positive biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. Yet, complementarity is often indirectly quantified as overperformance in mixture relative to monoculture (e.g., 'complementarity effect'). This overperformance is then attributed to the intuitive idea of complementarity or, more specifically, to species resource partitioning. Locally, however, several unassociated causes may drive this overperformance. Here, we differentiate complementarity into three types of species differences that may cause enhanced ecosystem functioning in more diverse ecosystems: (i) resource partitioning, (ii) abiotic facilitation, and (iii) biotic feedbacks. We argue that disentangling these three causes is crucial for predicting the response of ecosystems to future biodiversity loss.

Tree diversity improves forest productivity Experimental studies in grasslands have shown that the loss of species has negative consequences for ecosystem functioning. Is the same true for forests? Huang et al. report the first results from a large biodiversity experiment in a subtropical forest in China. The study combines many replicates, realistic tree densities, and large plot sizes with a wide range of species richness levels. After 8 years of the experiment, the findings suggest strong positive effects of tree diversity on forest productivity and carbon accumulation. Thus, changing from monocultures to more mixed forests could benefit both restoration of biodiversity and mitigation of climate change. Science , this issue p. 80
