Abstract1. The increasing strength of positive biodiversity effects on plant community productivity in long-term biodiversity experiments has been shown to be related to mixed responses at species level. However, it is still not well understood if the varying environments in plant communities with different diversity also exert different selection pressures to which plant species respond adaptively or whether their responses are mainly due to phenotypic plasticity. 2.
