Biodiversity Loss Threatens Human Well-Being (2006)
Sandra Díaz, Joseph Fargione, F. Stuart Chapin, David Tilman
Biodiversity lies at the core of ecosystem processes fueling our planet's vital life-support systems; its degradation--by us--is threatening our own well-being and will disproportionately impact the...
The Importance of Land-Use Legacies to Ecology and Conservation (2003)
DAVID FOSTER, FREDERICK SWANSON, JOHN ABER, INGRID BURKE, NICHOLAS BROKAW, DAVID TILMAN, ...
Recognition of the importance of land-use history and its legacies in most ecological systems has been a major factor driving the recent focus on human activity as a legitimate and essential subject...
AMY J. SYMSTAD, DIANA H. WALL, KATHERINE L. GROSS, LAURA F. HUENNEKE, GARY G. MITTELBACH, ...
In a growing body of literature from a variety of ecosystems is strong evidence that various components of biodiversity have significant impacts on ecosystem functioning. However, much of this...
Reich, Peter B., Tilman, David, Craine, Joseph, Ellsworth, David, Tjoelker, Mark G., Knops, Johannes M. N., ...
Summary: To evaluate whether functional groups have a similar response to global change, the responses to CO2 concentration and N availability of grassland species from several functional groups are...
Plant diversity enhances ecosystem responses to elevated CO₂ and nitrogen deposition (2001)
Knops, Jean, Tilman, David, Craine, Joseph, Ellsworth, David S., Brookhaven National Laboratory, ...
Human actions are causing declines in plant biodiversity, increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations and increases in nitrogen deposition; however, the interactive effects of these factors on...
Zak, Donald R., Grigal, David F., Gleeson, Scott, Tilman, David
Soil C and N dynamics were studied in a sequence of old fields of increasing age to determine how these biogeochemical cycles change during secondary succession. In addition, three different...

A Consumer-Resource Approach to Community Structure (1986)
Because all species are consumers and all, eventually, are consumed by other species, consumer-resource interaction is one of the most fundamental processes of ecology. Simple models that include the...
Plant diversity and ecosystem productivity: Theoretical considerations
Tilman, David, Lehman, Clarence L., Thomson, Kendall T.
Ecosystem processes are thought to depend on both the number and identity of the species present in an ecosystem, but mathematical theory predicting this has been lacking. Here we present three...
Human-caused environmental change: Impacts on plant diversity and evolution
Tilman, David, Lehman, Clarence
Human-caused environmental changes are creating regional combinations of environmental conditions that, within the next 50 to 100 years, may fall outside the envelope within which many of the...
The recent intensification of agriculture, and the prospects of future intensification, will have major detrimental impacts on the nonagricultural terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the world. The...
Community assembly and invasion: An experimental test of neutral versus niche processes
Fargione, Joseph, Brown, Cynthia S., Tilman, David
A species-addition experiment showed that prairie grasslands have a structured, nonneutral assembly process in which resident species inhibit, via resource consumption, the establishment and growth...
Invasion, competitive dominance, and resource use by exotic and native California grassland species
Seabloom, Eric W., Harpole, W. Stanley, Reichman, O. J., Tilman, David
The dynamics of invasive species may depend on their abilities to compete for resources and exploit disturbances relative to the abilities of native species. We test this hypothesis and explore its...
Reich, Peter B., Tilman, David, Naeem, Shahid, Ellsworth, David S., Knops, Johannes, Craine, Joseph, ...
The characteristics of plant assemblages influence ecosystem processes such as biomass accumulation and modulate terrestrial responses to global change factors such as elevated atmospheric CO2 and N...
Stochastic niche theory resolves many of the differences between neutral theory and classical tradeoff-based niche theories of resource competition and community structure. In stochastic niche...

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
Hill, Jason, Nelson, Erik, Tilman, David, Polasky, Stephen, Tiffany, Douglas
Negative environmental consequences of fossil fuels and concerns about petroleum supplies have spurred the search for renewable transportation biofuels. To be a viable alternative, a biofuel should...
Fargione, Joseph, Tilman, David, Dybzinski, Ray, Lambers, Janneke Hille Ris, Clark, Chris, Harpole, W. Stanley, ...
In a 10-year (1996–2005) biodiversity experiment, the mechanisms underlying the increasingly positive effect of biodiversity on plant biomass production shifted from sampling to complementarity...
Climate change and health costs of air emissions from biofuels and gasoline
Hill, Jason, Polasky, Stephen, Nelson, Erik, Tilman, David, Huo, Hong, Ludwig, Lindsay, ...
Environmental impacts of energy use can impose large costs on society. We quantify and monetize the life-cycle climate-change and health effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) and fine particulate matter...
