“…Changing land use, pollutants and climate change are driving declines in biodiversity (Tickner et al., 2020) with associated effects on ecosystem and community stability (Fussmann et al., 2014). Ecosystem and community responses to environmental disturbance have recently been shown to be complex (Lemm et al., 2020; Polazzo & Rico, 2021) such that multiple components, or ‘dimensions’, of ecological stability should be measured (Donohue et al., 2013; Hillebrand et al., 2018; White et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2019). Dimensional components of stability include variability of biomass, abundance or percentage cover; resistance to change; rate of recovery following change; turnover of community composition; and rates of colonisations and extinctions (Clark et al., 2021; Donohue et al., 2016).…”
