A rich body of evidence from local-scale experiments and observational studies has
revealed stabilizing effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. However, whether …

Aim Global carbon cycle models do not incorporate the stabilizing effect of biodiversity on
productivity despite this phenomenon has been widely described in several local scale …

Interactions between biodiversity loss and climate change present significant challenges for
research, policy and management of ecosystems. Evidence suggests that high species …

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

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 …

Plant diversity may enhance stability of ecosystem function and its satellite-derived
indicators. However, its potential to stabilize phenology, or seasonal changes in plant …

Local ecological communities represent the scale at which species coexist and share
resources, and at which diversity has been experimentally shown to underlie stability …

Abstract Changes in climate and biodiversity are widely recognized as primary global
change drivers of ecosystem structure and functioning, also affecting ecosystem services …

Climate change alters ecosystems and their functioning, but biodiversity can buffer such
changes. Previous syntheses suggest that biodiversity confers insurance; however, it is not …

Abstract Effects of climate change on plant community functional diversity are of interest
since experiments have found functional diversity to predict ecosystem function. Functional …
