Check out our new paper in Ecology, led by Edd Hammill at Utah State, testing the relationship between diversity and ecosystem function at the landscape scale. We used simulated landscapes of pond mesocosms to show the relationship between beta-diversity and two ecosystem processes (decomposition and primary production) strengthens as landscape heterogeneity in temperature and nutrient conditions increase.
