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 ...

The importance of low atmospheric CO₂ and fire in promoting the spread of grasslands and savannas

Abstract The distribution and abundance of trees can be strongly affected by disturbance such as fire. In mixed tree/grass ecosystems, recurrent grass‐fuelled fires can strongly...
