The links between ecosystem multifunctionality and above-and belowground biodiversity are mediated by climate
Plant biodiversity is often correlated with ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems.
However, we know little about the relative and combined effects of above-and belowground …

Soil fungal diversity in natural grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau: associations with plant diversity and productivity
Previous studies have revealed inconsistent correlations between fungal diversity and plant
diversity from local to global scales, and there is a lack of information about the diversity …

Water addition but not reduction alters plant biomass–diversity relationship
The relationship between plant aboveground biomass and diversity typically follows a
unimodal pattern, showing a positive correlation in resource‐poor habitats and a negative …

Productivity is a poor predictor of plant species richness
For more than 30 years, the relationship between net primary productivity and species
richness has generated intense debate in ecology about the processes regulating local …
