[ECOLOG-L] Carbon use efficiency with plant diversity

[Kevin]

Hi, All:
    
   If you have any thinking about one of my ideas or aware of any related 
literature, please join in the discussion.
    Do you think a higher diverse plant ecosystem would lead to a higher 
carbon use efficiency or lower one? A higher diversity means more distinct 
niche differentiation and the ecosystem should be more efficient. Then a 
higher proportion of GPP should flow into NPP. That is my guessing. 
Welcome your opinion.

Thanks
