Hypothetical relationships between richness, productivity and stability in natural ecosystems. a The local effect of species richness on primary productivity is expected to vary along environmental gradients, leading to a convergence of richness–productivity relationships with increasing diversity. b As a result, the spatial stability of productivity between communities that experience different environments should increase as plant richness increases
