Background The priority effect of plant arrival is a key driver of community assembly and ecosystem succession during the restoration of degraded plant communities.However,the significance of the arrival order of diff...
El Colegio de la Frontera Sur offered working facilities and institutional support.Research was partly funded by the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia(Mexico)through two projects:(1)MESMIS;GIRA,A.C.-UNAM-ECOSUR(2004-2006);Fondos Sectoriales SEMARNAT CONACYT 2002-CO1-0800;(2)Evaluacion de Sustentabilidad de Sistemas Complejos Socio-Ambientales;ECOSUR-UNAM-GIRA(2007-2010);Proyecto de Ciencia Básica 02464.
Absolute yield and land use efficiency can be higher in multicrops.Though this phenomenon is common,it is not always the case.Also,these two benefits are frequently confused and do not necessarily occur together.Cropp...
Aims Within biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments,it is widely understood that yields of some species rapidly decline when planted in monoculture.This effect may arise due to decreased access to soil nutrients o...

Understanding the effect of biodiversity on ecosystem function is critical to promoting the sustainability of ecosystems and species conservation in natural ecosystems. We observed species composition, species richnes...

Background: in recent studies, mixed forests were found to be more productive than monocultures with everything else remaining the same. Methods: To find out if this productivity is caused by tree species richness, ...

A better understanding and a more quantitative design of mixed-species stands will contribute to more integrative and goal-oriented research in mixed-species forests. Much recent work has indicated that the structure ...

Aims Most biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research has been carried out in grassland ecosystems,and little is known about whether forest ecosystems,in particular outside the temperate zone,respond similarly.Here,we...

Aims The potential for mixtures of plant species to produce more biomass than every one of their constituent species in monoculture is still controversially discussed in the literature.Here we tested how this socalled...
