Clarifying the effect of biodiversity on productivity in natural ecosystems with longitudinal data and methods for causal inference

Abstract Causal effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functions can be estimated using experimental or observational designs — designs that pose a tradeoff between drawing credible causal inferences from correlations and drawing generalizable inferences. Here, we develop a design that reduces this tr...
