Recovery of plant species richness during long-term fertilization of a species-rich grassland [PDF]
Ecology, 2011 Nutrient enrichment of habitats (eutrophication) is considered to be one of the main causes of plant diversity decline worldwide. Several experiments have shown a rapid loss of species in the first years after fertilization started. However, little is known about changes in species richness in the long term.

Predicting coral species richness: the effect of input variables, diversity and scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Coral reefs are facing a biodiversity crisis due to increasing human impacts, consequently, one third of reef-building corals have an elevated risk of extinction.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Understanding species’ elevational distributions in mountain ecosystems is needed under climate change, but remote biodiverse mountain areas may be poorly documented. National Forest Inventories (NFIs) offer a potential source of data.

rich: An R Package to Analyse Species Richness [PDF]
Diversity, 2011 The paper describes rich, a new R package to perform species richness estimation and comparison. Species richness is the simplest surrogate for the more complex concept of species biodiversity. It is relatively easy to assess although estimations strongly depend on sampling intensity with the consequence that richness estimations should be standardized

Spatial Pattern of Species Richness among Terrestrial Mammals in China
Diversity, 2020 We describe large-scale patterns of terrestrial mammal distribution in China by using geographical information system (GIS) spatial analysis. Mammal taxa, examined by species, family, and order, were binned into 10 km × 10 km grids to explore the ...

Increased plant carbon translocation linked to overyielding in grassland species mixtures [PDF]
, 2012 Plant species richness and productivity often show a positive relationship, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, especially at the plant species level. We examined how growing plants in species mixture influences intraspecific rates of

A meta-analysis of fauna and flora species richness and abundance in plantations and pasture lands [PDF]
, 2010 We conducted a systematic global review of differences between timber plantations and pasture lands in terms of animal and plant species richness and abundance, and assessed the results using meta-analysis techniques.

The enigma of soil animal species diversity revisited: the role of small-scale heterogeneity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 "The enigma of soil animal species diversity" was the title of a popular article by J. M. Anderson published in 1975. In that paper, Anderson provided insights on the great richness of species found in soils, but emphasized that the mechanisms ...
