a Global map showing the locations of the 83 grassland sites included in this study. All sites were used to analyze diversity–variability relationships under ambient spatial environmental heterogeneity (pre-treatment conditions). Triangles denote the 42 sites that implemented the experimental protocol used to evaluate the effect of increased environmental heterogeneity on diversity–variability relationships. b The grassland sites span a wide range of mean annual productivity, mean annual temperature (MAT), and mean annual precipitation (MAP). Site color key shows the color assignment to each site, which is consistent in all figures.
