This was calculated as the slope of the relationship between the mean final biomass of each node and changes in interaction strength, which varied from antagonistic to synergistic. Example data from which the slopes were calculated are shown in Fig. S3. A separate set of simulations was run with only acute stressor interactions included, only chronic stressor interactions included, and all stressor interactions included. Positive numbers indicate that biomass increased with increasing interaction strength.
