Stochastic Community Assembly Causes Higher Biodiversity in More Productive Environments

Chase, Jonathan M.·2010·Science

Abstract

Biodiversity and Productivity: When data are analyzed at relatively large spatial scales, biodiversity generally increases with productivity, but the pattern at smaller scales is more variable. Chase (p. 1388 , published online 27 May) presents results from a 7-year experiment in artificial ponds. β-diversity (the variation in species composition from site to site) in animal species was persistently higher at higher productivity among otherwise homogeneous environments in this controlled experimental venue. This pattern appeared to result from shifts in the relative importance of deterministic versus stochastic community assembly mechanisms along the productivity gradient. Thus, variation in the mechanism of community assembly might be an important process determining the relationship between biodiversity and productivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
