AbstractNutrient enrichment impacts grassland plant diversity such as species richness, functional trait composition and diversity, but whether and how these changes affect ecosystem stability in the face of increasing climate extremes remains largely unknown. We quantify the direct and diversity-mediated effects of nutrient addition (by nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) on the stability of aboveground biomass production in 10 long-term grassland experimental sites.
