摘要: Abstract Stability is thought to rely on the richness (identity) and abundance of species present in an ecosystem, where higher biodiversity promotes stability. Several attempts have been done test this connection; however, there still a lack comprehension regarding relation between The stability concept collective term, defined via three fundamental properties: constancy, resilience persistence. This manuscript uses theoretical experimental evidence explore effects estuarine stability, using temporal (TS) measure as proxy. In 1999 Tilman proposed use TS diversity–stability hypothesis decade-long grassland experiment. Can be useful systems? Our approach attempted analyse from complementary perspectives by allowing measurement change (i) depending number abundance; (ii) according different habitats same system; (iii) disturbances influence. question that imposed next was if system property could related with services provision. From study, main outcomes were values found for (N) observed (S); maximum achieved at intermediate diversity range; increased abundance. general, our results suggest might address sustainable management systems.
