From: Biodiversity increases multitrophic energy use efficiency, flow and storage in grasslands
Summary of a least-squares linear model testing the effects of plant species richness and the presence of specific functional groups on multitrophic ecosystem functions and properties emerging from network analysis (n=80 plots): total energy flow (g m-2 d-1), total-network standing biomass (g m-2), community maintenance costs (d-1), and flow uniformity. Variable Block accounts for initial physico-chemical soil- and microclimate conditions. Plant species richness accounts for the number of plant species (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 60 species).
