Universal beta-diversity–functioning relationships are neither observed nor expected
Widespread evidence shows that local species richness (α-diversity) loss hampers the
biomass production and stability of ecosystems. β-Diversity, namely the variation of species …

Consistent stabilizing effects of plant diversity across spatial scales and climatic gradients
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 …

Grazing‐induced biodiversity loss impairs grassland ecosystem stability at multiple scales
Livestock grazing is a major driver shaping grassland biodiversity, functioning and stability.
Whether grazing impacts on grassland ecosystems are scale‐dependent remains unclear …

Scale-dependent changes in ecosystem temporal stability over six decades of succession
A widely assumed, but largely untested, tenet in ecology is that ecosystem stability tends to
increase over succession. We rigorously test this idea using 60-year continuous data of old …

Soil biota diversity and plant diversity both contributed to ecosystem stability in grasslands
Understanding the effects of diversity on ecosystem stability in the context of global change
has become an important goal of recent ecological research. However, the effects of …

Decoupled responses of above‐and below‐ground stability of productivity to nitrogen addition at the local and larger spatial scale
Temporal stability of net primary productivity (NPP) is important for predicting the reliable
provisioning of ecosystem services under global changes. Although nitrogen (N) addition is …
