INTRODUCTION Experimental studies that have varied species richness (S) often find positive relationships between richness and ecosystem processes such as net primary productivity (NPP). These results raise concern that human caused reductions in biodiversity will reduce ecosystem's capacity to produce energy for higher trophic levels (e.g. forage for grazing mammals; Weisser et al., 2017).
