[LTER-BioProd] Agenda paper: new draft, and request to present

[Adam Clark]

Thanks! Though I am probably the least qualified on this email list to say
so, I think that the paper looks great, and don't think that any major
changes are needed before submission.

RE additional citations etc.
- L72-73:"Biodiversity science has demonstrated biodiversity - ecosystem
function feedbacks", other good citations might be (Fornara, D.A. & Tilman,
D. (2008). Plant functional composition influences rates of soil carbon and
nitrogen accumulation. *Journal of Ecology*, 96, 314–322; Eisenhauer, N.
(2012). Aboveground–belowground interactions as a source of complementarity
effects in biodiversity experiments. *Plant and Soil*, 351, 1–22;
Schnitzer, S.A., Klironomos, J.N., HilleRisLambers, J., Kinkel, L.L.,
Reich, P.B., Xiao, K., *et al.* (2011). Soil microbes drive the classic
plant diversity–productivity pattern. *Ecology*, 92, 296–303.)
- L111 - Potentially Elton, wrt. invasions and invasion suppression?
- L174, maybe Huffaker 1958, or Gause 1934. Or for more modern, (Huisman,
J. & Weissing, F.J. (1999). Biodiversity of plankton by species
oscillations and chaos. *Nature*, 402, 407–410.)
- L259: Perhaps cite (Carpenter, S.R., Mooney, H.A., Agard, J., Capistrano,
D., DeFries, R.S., Diaz, S., et al. (2009). Science for managing ecosystem
services: Beyond the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 106,
1305–1312.) as an example of the need to address feedbacks?
- L274: Maybe Hooper 2005 is a good citation for this section, as well as
the Loreau book? And maybe even the Levin pattern and scale paper?
- L290, maybe (Loreau, M. (2010). From Populations to Ecosystems:
Theoretical Foundations for a New Ecological Synthesis. Princeton
Monographs in Population Biology. Princeton University Press, Princeton,
NJ.)?
- L302: Good citations for temporal variation might be (Arnoldi, J.-F.,
Bideault, A., Loreau, M. & Haegeman, B. (2018). How ecosystems recover from
pulse perturbations: A theory of short- to long-term responses. *Journal of
Theoretical Biology*, 436, 79–92), (Haegeman, B., Arnoldi, J.-F., Wang, S.,
de Mazancourt, C., Montoya, J.M. & Loreau, M. (2016). Resilience,
invariability, and ecological stability across levels of organization.);
good citations for spatial might be (Wang, S., Loreau, M., Arnoldi, J.-F.,
Fang, J., Rahman, K.Abd., Tao, S., et al. (2017). An invariability-area
relationship sheds new light on the spatial scaling of ecological
stability. Nature Communications, 8, 15211.)
- L315: Again, maybe a good place for the Carpenter citation from above?
- L331: RE shifts and feedbacks, potential citations also include
(Scheffer, M., Carpenter, S., Foley, J.A., Folke, C. & Walker, B. (2001).
Catastrophic shifts in ecosystems. Nature, 413, 591–596.); (Scheffer, M.,
Bascompte, J., Brock, W.A., Brovkin, V., Carpenter, S.R., Dakos, V., et al.
(2009). Early-warning signals for critical transitions. Nature, 461, 53–59.)
- L343: Another good citation for remote sensing might be (Cavender-Bares,
J., Gamon, J.A., Hobbie, S.E., Madritch, M.D., Meireles, J.E., Schweiger,
A.K., *et al.* (2017). Harnessing plant spectra to integrate the
biodiversity sciences across biological and spatial scales. *American
Journal of Botany*.)
