Resilience is a key concept in ecology and describes the capacity of an ecosystem to
maintain its state and recover from disturbances. Numerous metrics have been applied to …

The worldwide loss of species diversity brings urgency to understanding how diverse
ecosystems maintain stability. Whereas early ecological ideas and classic observations …

We review results from field experiments that simulate drought, an ecologically impactful
global change threat that is predicted to increase in magnitude, extent, duration and …

Short-term experimental studies provided evidence that plant diversity increases ecosystem
resilience and resistance to drought events, suggesting diversity to serve as a nature-based …

High biodiversity aboveground tends to increase the stability of ecosystem functioning when
faced with a changing environment. However, whether and how soil biota affect ecosystem …

Drought is intensifying globally with climate change, creating an urgency to understand
ecosystem response to drought both during and after these events end to limit loss of …

Climate change associated with a greater variability of inter‐and intra‐annual droughts and
the occurrence of extreme events act in combination to challenge semi‐natural and sown …

Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment is known to alter the composition and functioning of plant
communities. However, how nutrient enrichment influences multiple dimensions of …

The growing season normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI GS) of vegetation and
