- Nitrogen addition reduced ecosystem stability regardless of its impacts on plant diversity (2019, methodology): “Species asynchrony, resulting from different responses of species to environmental change, can increase community stability because some species maintain high productivity while others are unable to do so (Gross et al., 2014; Loreau & De Mazancourt, 2008; Yachi & Loreau, 1999).”
- The effects of long-term fertilization on the temporal stability of alpine meadow communities (2011, neutral): “At the other extreme, perfect synchrony reduces temporal stability to a minimum because all species fluctuate together ( Loreau and de Mazancourt 2008 ).”
- Species asynchrony and response diversity determine multifunctional stability of natural grasslands (2019, methodology): “This species asynchrony measure is independent of species richness and ranges between 1, which indicates perfectly asynchronized species fluctuations, and 0, which indicates perfectly synchronized species fluctuations (Loreau & de Mazancourt, 2008).”
