Succession stages‐dependent shifts in grassland community stability from asynchrony to population stability mediated by nitrogen enrichment

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding the stability dynamics of naturally occurring grassland succession under nutrient enrichment is crucial for effective ecosystem management. We carried out an 11‐year field experiment to examine how grassland community stability responds to nitrogen (N) enrichment across the three successional stages (early‐, mid‐ and late‐successional ...
