Biodiversity and Plant Productivity in a Model Assemblage of Plant Species
Abstract
We examined productivity as a function of biotic diversity. We manipulated plant species richness as an experimental factor to determine if productivity (net above ground primary productivity or NPP) is affected by changes in plant diversity (species richness). We constructed 164 assemblages that varied in species richness and measured their biomass at the end of one growing season. The plants were drawn from a pool of 16 species of self-pollinating annual herbs common to English weedy fields. On average, species-poor assemblages were less productive. Results also showed, however, that species-poor assemblages had wider ranges of possible productivities than more diverse assemblages.

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.
