  1. ncbi Declining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes
    Frank Berendse
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology Group, Wageningen University, The Netherlands
    Ambio 33:499-502. 2004
    ..So far, the positive effects appear to be limited. Continuous evaluation and adaptation of these schemes is needed to enable the biodiversity on farmland to recover from the EU's former policy...
  2. ncbi The angiosperm radiation revisited, an ecological explanation for Darwin's 'abominable mystery'
    Frank Berendse
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology Group, Wageningen University, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands
    Ecol Lett 12:865-72. 2009
    ..Evidence for the possibility of such a critical transition to angiosperm dominance comes from recent work on large scale vegetation shifts, linking long-term field observations, large scale experiments and the use of simulation models...
  3. ncbi Plant species richness regulates soil respiration through changes in productivity
    André Tavares Corrêa Dias
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology Group, Wageningen University and Research Centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands
    Oecologia 163:805-13. 2010
    ..We conclude that shifts in productivity are the main mechanism by which changes in plant diversity may affect soil respiration...
  4. ncbi Recovery of plant species richness during long-term fertilization of a species-rich grassland
    Marleen Pierik
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology Group, Wageningen University and Research Centre, 6708 Wageningen, The Netherlands
    Ecology 92:1393-8. 2011
    ..These results show that plant species richness can, at least partially, recover after an initial diversity decline caused by fertilization...
  5. ncbi Diversity-productivity relationships: initial effects, long-term patterns, and underlying mechanisms
    Jasper van Ruijven
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology Group, Wageningen University and Research Centre, Bornsesteeg 69, 6708 PD Wageningen, The Netherlands
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:695-700. 2005
    ..Furthermore, our results suggest that complementary nutrient uptake in space and time is important. Together, these mechanisms sustain consistently high productivity at high diversity...
  6. ncbi The interplay between shifts in biomass allocation and costs of reproduction in four grassland perennials under simulated successional change
    Eelke Jongejans
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology Group, Wageningen University, Bornsesteeg 69, 6708 PD Wageningen, The Netherlands
    Oecologia 147:369-78. 2006
    ..These responses can be very important for the survival of a species in a metapopulation context...
  7. ncbi The effect of temperature on growth and competition between Sphagnum species
    Angela Breeuwer
    Nature Conservation and Plant Ecology, Department of Environmental Sciences, Wageningen University, P O Box 47, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands
    Oecologia 156:155-67. 2008
    ..These findings suggest that species abundances will shift in response to global warming, particularly at northern sites where hollow species will lose competitive strength relative to hummock species and southern species...
  8. ncbi Reconciling complexity with stability in naturally assembling food webs
    Anje Margriet Neutel
    Environment Department, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, UK
    Nature 449:599-602. 2007
    ..Because the weight of these feedback loops is kept relatively low by the biomass build-up in the successional process, complexity does not lead to instability...
