Biodiversity and the Multi-Functionality of Ecosystems: How are the two related? ... and what is the original driver of the connection?

Subject Index Summary
Interactive Effects of CO2 and Phosphorus on Plant Growth: Several scientists have periodically assumed that the growth stimulation due to the aerial fertilization effect of atmospheric CO2 enrichment will not be sustained as time progresses, due to insufficient amounts of soil phosphorus. However, several studies suggest that a CO2-enriched atmosphere alleviates the negative effects of such stress.
