New research at the Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve north of the Twin Cities adds to a growing body of evidence that diversity matters in healthy ecosystems.

A new University of Minnesota long-term study of plant biodiversity found that each species plays a role in maintaining a productive ecosystem, especially when a long time horizon is considered.
