Long‐term nitrogen input alters plant and soil bacterial, but not fungal beta diversity in a semiarid grassland

W Liu, L Liu, X Yang, M Deng, Z Wang… - Global Change …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library

Stochastic community assembly causes higher biodiversity in more productive environments

JM Chase - Science, 2010 - science.org
Net primary productivity is a principal driver of biodiversity; large-scale regions with higher
productivity generally have more species. This pattern emerges because β-diversity …

Scale‐dependent effect sizes of ecological drivers on biodiversity: why standardised sampling is not enough

JM Chase, TM Knight - Ecology letters, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
There is little consensus about how natural (eg productivity, disturbance) and anthropogenic
(eg invasive species, habitat destruction) ecological drivers influence biodiversity. Here, we …
