Studies the relationship between biodiversity loss and productivity in experimental tallgrass prairie plots using Andropogon gerardii and Salvia azurea. As species evenness decreased, A. gerardii abundance increased, S. azurea abundance remained constant, and other species' abundance decreased.Suggested Citation
