Functional trait effects on ecosystem stability: assembling the jigsaw puzzle
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 …

Species richness stabilizes productivity via asynchrony and drought-tolerance diversity in a large-scale tree biodiversity experiment
Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

Climate mediates the biodiversity–ecosystem stability relationship globally
The insurance hypothesis, stating that biodiversity can increase ecosystem stability, has
received wide research and political attention. Recent experiments suggest that climate …

Model averaging in ecology: A review of Bayesian, information‐theoretic, and tactical approaches for predictive inference
In ecology, the true causal structure for a given problem is often not known, and several
plausible models and thus model predictions exist. It has been claimed that using weighted …

Diversity and asynchrony in soil microbial communities stabilizes ecosystem functioning
Theoretical and empirical advances have revealed the importance of biodiversity for
stabilizing ecosystem functions through time. Despite the global degradation of soils …

Biodiversity–stability relationships strengthen over time in a long-term grassland experiment
Numerous studies have demonstrated that biodiversity drives ecosystem functioning, yet
how biodiversity loss alters ecosystems functioning and stability in the long-term lacks …
