Fig. 5: Indirect effects of species richness on community stability through the 5-year complementarity (CE) and selection (SE) effects across 5-year rolling windows.

Fig. 5

a indirect effects through the CE and SE on community stability by their effects on ANPP (richness - > CE/SE - > ANPP - > population stability - > community stability), b by their effects on population stability (richness -> CE/SE - > population stability -> community stability), and c by their effects on asynchrony (richness -> CE/SE - > Asynchrony -> community stability). Solid lines indicate significant regression trends and dotted lines non-significant trends. Tests for significance are two-sided for a difference from 0. See Fig. S6 for 3-year windows.
