Why Eutrophication Hurts Plant Diversity

image: This picture is showing the experimental understory light addition: Addition of light to the grassland understory prevented the loss of biodiversity caused by eutrophication. This image accompanied the report, " Competition for Light Causes Plant Biodiversity Loss After Eutrophication," by Y. Hautier and colleagues appearing in the May 1, 2009, issue of Science. view more
