Data from: Biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships change through primary succession
Ecologists traditionally use environmental parameters to predict successional shifts in compositional characteristics of local species assemblages (environmental control).

Ecologists traditionally use environmental parameters to predict successional shifts in compositional characteristics of local species assemblages (environmental control).
