Dose-dependent destabilizing effects of nitrogen addition on grassland community stability

Key Points

• Grassland community stability decreases with varying doses of nitrogen addition, suggesting ecological vulnerability.
• Increased nitrogen levels created destabilizing conditions that lower community resilience and diversity.
• Observational analysis highlighted changes in ecosystem balance due to nitrogen, using field data collected over two years.
• Findings imply that nitrogen management is critical for preserving grassland ecosystems and their biodiversity.
