Ecosystem stability in variable environments depends on the diversity of form and function of
the constituent species. Species phenotypes and ecologies are the product of evolution, and …

The relationships between biodiversity and stability were determined for both population
and ecosystem traits in a long—term study of 207 grassland plots. Results demonstrate that …

The relationship between biological diversity and ecological stability has fascinated
ecologists for decades. Determining the generality of this relationship, and discovering the …

Despite much recent progress, our understanding of diversity–stability relationships across
different study systems remains incomplete. In particular, recent theory clarified that within …

There is mounting evidence that biodiversity increases the stability of ecosystem processes
in changing environments, but the mechanisms that underlie this effect are still controversial …

Biodiversity has widely been documented to enhance local community stability but whether
such stabilizing effects of biodiversity extend to broader scales remains elusive. Here, we …

The diversity–stability hypothesis states that current losses of biodiversity can impair the
ability of an ecosystem to dampen the effect of environmental perturbations on its …

Recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that diversity enhances the temporal stability
of a community. However, the effect of diversity on the stability of the individual populations …

A substantial body of evidence has demonstrated that biodiversity stabilizes ecosystem
functioning over time in grassland ecosystems. However, the relative importance of different …

Many experiments have shown that biodiversity enhances ecosystem functioning. However,
we have little understanding of how environmental heterogeneity shapes the effect of …
