Decomposer diversity and identity influence plant diversity effects on ecosystem functioningNico Eisenhauer
Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, St Paul, Minnesota 55108, USA
Ecology 93:2227-40. 2012..Elevated decomposer performance at high plant diversity found in previous experiments likely positively feeds back to plant performance, thus contributing to the positive relationship between plant diversity and ecosystem functioning...
Changes in plant species richness induce functional shifts in soil nematode communities in experimental grasslandNico Eisenhauer
Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, St Paul, Minnesota, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e24087. 2011..Nematodes, the most abundant and diverse soil Metazoa, represent the complexity of soil food webs as they comprise all major trophic groups and allow calculation of a number of functional indices...
Plant diversity surpasses plant functional groups and plant productivity as driver of soil biota in the long termNico Eisenhauer
Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, St Paul, Minnesota, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e16055. 2011..Impacts of key plant functional groups on soil biota are considered to be more important than those of plant diversity; however, current knowledge mainly relies on short-term experiments...
