Abstract:
This paper is one of the first synthesis papers of the Jena Experiment, summarizing the effects of plant species richness on a large number of different taxa, of organismic interactions, and of processes linked to such interactions. It shows a strong biodiversity effects on a large proportion of the variables. The effect is strong for herbivores but decreases for higher trophic levels, and aboveground organisms are more strongly controlled by plant species richness than belowground organisms.
