Nitrogen addition reduced ecosystem stability regardless of its impacts on plant diversity (2019, background): “…in species richness and the associated asynchrony of species fluctuations (Craven et al., 2018; Hautier et al., 2015; Hector et al., 2010) but also by their effect on species dominance (Doak et al., 1998; but see Isbell et al., 2009) and the stability of dominant species (Polley et al., 2007).”
The effects of long-term fertilization on the temporal stability of alpine meadow communities (2011, unknown): “regression line of log (variance) versus log (mean) for each community and species (Polley et al. 2007).”
Phylogenetic diversity promotes ecosystem stability (2012, background): “Previous studies have reported that stability may be a product of the dynamics of the dominant species (Polley et al. 2007, Grman et al. 2010, Sanderson 2010), which is undoubtedly true, but our analyses reveal that plots with more evolutionarily distinct species are more stable, regardless of the…”
