Effects of algal diversity on the production of biomass in homogeneous and heterogeneous nutrient environments: a microcosm experiment.

One of the most common questions addressed by ecologists over the past decade has been--how does species richness impact the production of community biomass? Recent summaries of experiments have shown that species richness tends to enhance the production of biomass across a wide range of trophic gro...
