A globally consistent scaling relationship reveals stabilizing effects of dominant species in plant communities

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Despite extensive research, stabilizing mechanisms in ecosystems remain uncertain. Taylor's power law (TPL) is a pervasive ecological pattern that describes how variance scales with mean abundance (σ2 = aμᵇ). While TPL has been widely studied within populations, its role across species within communities and its implications for stability remain ...
