Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Monocultures can have very high primary productivity.
- Observation Productivity is more punctuated in monocultures than multispecies systems.
- Association Folivorous insect diversity and abundance track foliage productivity.
- Mechanism Productivity gaps may bottleneck herbivore abundance and diversity.
- Observation Herbivore populations tend to be less stable in monocultures.
- Observation Monoculture habitat is poorer for species requiring mesoscale diversity.
