No evidence of complementary water use along a plant species richness gradient in temperate experimental grasslands.
Niche complementarity in resource use has been proposed as a key mechanism to explain the positive effects of increasing plant species richness on ecosystem processes, in particular on primary productivity. Since hardly any information is available for niche complementarity in water use, we tested t...
