摘要: Numerous experimental studies suggest that biodiversity loss is detrimental to ecosystem functions such as production and nutrient cycling. These experiments, however, have been criticized unrealistic because they use combinations of species do not resemble what observed in nature. Bracken et al. take a novel approach, using the field computer simulations explore many other combinations. Their approach represents significant advance making research more realistic.
