N2 - Biodiversity experiments have shown that species loss reduces ecosystem functioning in grassland.

Simulating multiple extinction scenarios, we found that richness strongly increased stand-level productivity. After 8 years, 16-species mixtures had accumulated over twice the amount of carbon found in average monocultures and similar amounts as those of two commercial monocultures.
