Project description
Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research rarely includes actual stress exposure. In experimental marine food webs (diatoms and copepods), conventional diversity-functioning relations are contrasted with those obtained from exposure to chemical stress. We tested whether biodiversity and functioning in stressed communities can be predicted from species-specific stress responses.
