Abstract excerpt
The relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning is a central topic in ecology today. Classical approaches to studying ecosystem responses to nutrient enrichment have considered linear food chains. To what extent ecosystem structure, that is, the network of species interactions, affects such responses is currently unknown. This severely limits our ability to predict which species or functional...
