Under global change, how biological diversity and ecosystem services are maintained in
time is a fundamental question. Ecologists have long argued about multiple mechanisms by …

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

Soil fungi are fundamental to plant productivity, yet their influence on the temporal stability of
global terrestrial ecosystems, and their capacity to buffer plant productivity against extreme …

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

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 …

Salt-affected soil has become one of the major threats to soil health. However, the
evaluation of biochar amendment effects and the underlying mechanisms on physical …

The increasing disturbances in monocultures around the world are testimony to their
instability under global change. Many studies have claimed that temporal stability of …

Abstract Setting appropriate conservation strategies in a multi-threat world is a challenging
goal, especially because of natural complexity and budget limitations that prevent effective …

The crossing of aridity thresholds triggers abrupt changes in multiple functional and
structural ecosystem attributes across global drylands. While we understand the …

Temporal stability of primary productivity is the key to stable provisioning of ecosystem
services to human beings. Yet, the effects of various global changes on grassland stability …
