Identifying population‐ and community‐level mechanisms of diversity–stability relationships in experimental grasslands

1. While positive effects of biodiversity on temporal stability of communities have been demonstrated in theoretical and empirical studies, diversity–stability relationships at the population level remain poorly understood.
