摘要：
Bezemer and van der Putten1 observe that greater initial plant diversity is associated with greater productivity (total above-ground plant biomass), greater ecosystem temporal stability and greater stability of plant community composition (that is, lower per-species extinction and colonization rates). Their results are consistent with the results of our biodiversity experiment2 and with predictions of theory3, but with an intriguing twist.
