Rapid turnover of species may rescue the con-cept that diversity leads to maximum function and stability. The role of turnover in ecosystem function and stability has not been investigated. ...
We evaluate the empirical and theoretical support for the hypothesis that a large proportion of native species richness is required to maximize ecosystem stability and sustain function. ...
The observation of a positive link between diversity and function, however, is neither simple nor universal. ...
