Plant Diversity and Productivity Experiments in European Grasslands

Plant Diversity and Productivity Experiments in European Grasslands

At eight European field sites, the impact of loss of plant diversity on primary productivity was simulated by synthesizing grassland communities with different numbers of plant species. Results differed in detail at each location, but there was an overall log-linear reduction of average aboveground biomass with loss of species.
