Effects of total resources, resource ratios, and species richness on algal productivity and evenness at both metacommunity and local scales.
The study of the interrelationship between productivity and biodiversity is a major research field in ecology. Theory predicts that if essential resources are heterogeneously distributed across a metacommunity, single species may dominate productivity in individual metacommunity patches, but a mixtu...
