What Does Productivity Really Mean? Towards an Integrative Paradigm in the Search for Biodiversity-Productivity Relationships
How species diversity relates to productivity remains a major debate. To date, however, the underlying mechanisms that regulate the ecological processes involved are still poorly understood. Three major issues persist in early efforts at resolution. First, in the context that productivity drives species diversity, how the pathways operate is poorly-explained. Second, productivity per se varies ...

متن کاملWhat does the p value really mean?
Consider an experiment in which 10 subjects receive a placebo, and another 10 receive an experimental diuretic. After 8 h, the average urine output in the placebo group is 769 mL, versus 814 mL in the diuretic group—a difference of 45 mL (Figure 1). How do we know if that difference means the drug works and is not just a result of chance? of 45 mL in the average urine output between groups unde...
متن کاملThe importance of forest structure to biodiversity–productivity relationships
While various relationships between productivity and biodiversity are found in forests, the processes underlying these relationships remain unclear and theory struggles to coherently explain them. In this work, we analyse diversity-productivity relationships through an examination of forest structure (described by basal area and tree height heterogeneity). We use a new modelling approach, calle...
متن کاملWhat Does Exercise-Based Assessment Really Mean?
My commentary addresses Lance’s recommendation to reorient assessment center (AC) practice away from dimensions toward exercise-based assessment. As exercisebased assessment is dealt with only in general terms in Lance’s article, I aim to delineate what exercise-based assessment really means. Two points are made. First, I argue that taking dimensions away from ACs does not mean that assessee be...
