The final structural equation model relating nitrogen (N) addition, drought, species asynchrony, leaf area of dominant species, dominant species productivity stability (DSPS) and dominant species compositional stability (DSCS) to grassland community compositional and productivity stability under scenarios of (a) intense drought (ID), (c) chronic drought (CD), and (e) reduced precipitation frequency (RF).

#IntenseDrought and #ChronicDrought both reduced the #ProductivityStability without altering #CompositionalStability of the typical steppe, while reduced precipitation frequency had the opposite effect.

Distinct effects of drought and nitrogen enrichment on the compositional and productivity stability of temperate grasslands Abstract. Drought events and nitrogen deposition are substantially modifying the stability of terrestrial ecosystems. Previous studies have mostly investig
