Abstract excerpt
Genetically induced phenotypic diversity can drive overyielding in plant communities via resource partitioning, pathogen dilution, and abiotic stress alleviation. Theoretically, environmentally induced phenotypic diversity within genetically uniform populations could also generate overyielding through these mechanisms. Testing this possibility will expand the generality of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning...
