Functional composition has stronger impact than species richness on carbon gain and allocation in experimental grasslands.

Functional composition has stronger impact than species richness on carbon gain and allocation in experimental grasslands.

Numerous experiments have shown positive diversity effects on plant productivity, but little is known about related processes of carbon gain and allocation. We investigated these processes in a controlled environment (Montpellier European Ecotron) applying a continuous 13CO2 label for three weeks to...
