Role of functionally dominant species in varying environmental regimes: evidence for the performance-enhancing effect of biodiversity

BACKGROUND: Theory suggests that biodiversity can act as a buffer against disturbances and environmental variability via two major mechanisms: Firstly, a stabilising effect by decreasing the temporal variance in ecosystem functioning due to compensatory processes; and secondly, a performance enhanci...
