Department of Biological Sciences and Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:9892-3. 2003
..Our findings illustrate the potential for organism-environment interactions to modify the direction as well as the magnitude of global change effects on ecosystem functioning...
Realistic species losses disproportionately reduce grassland resistance to biological invadersErika S Zavaleta
Environmental Studies Department, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA
Science 306:1175-7. 2004
..Realistic biodiversity losses, even of rare species, can thus affect ecosystem processes far more than indicated by randomized-loss experiments...

Sustaining multiple ecosystem functions in grassland communities requires higher biodiversityErika S Zavaleta
Environmental Studies Department, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:1443-6. 2010
..Sustained multifunctionality, therefore, likely requires both higher species richness than single ecosystem functionality and a diversity of species assemblages across the landscape...

Department of Global Ecology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 260 Panama Street, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
Science 298:1987-90. 2002
..These findings indicate the importance of a multifactor experimental approach to understanding ecosystem responses to global change...
Additive effects of simulated climate changes, elevated CO2, and nitrogen deposition on grassland diversityErika S Zavaleta
Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 5020, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:7650-4. 2003
..Our results show that climate and atmospheric changes can rapidly alter biological diversity, with combined effects that, at least in some settings, are simple, additive combinations of single-factor effects...
Modeled regional climate change and California endemic oak rangesLara M Kueppers
Department of Earth Sciences and Environmental Studies Department, University of California, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:16281-6. 2005
..Based on the modeled regional climate change, <50% of protected land area currently containing these species is expected to contain them under a future midrange "business-as-usual" path of greenhouse gas emissions...
