Focusing on plant diversity,  we hypothesize that multifunctional stability is highest in  high-diversity plant communities and that biodiversity\u2013stability  relationships increase over time due to a variety of forms of ecological  complementarity including the interaction with other biota above and  below ground. We introduce the <em>multiple-mechanisms hypothesis of biodiversity\u2013stability relationships<\/em>  suggesting that it is not an individual mechanism that drives long-term  biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and stability but that  several intertwined processes produce increasingly positive ecosystem  effects. The following six mechanisms are important. Low-diversity plant  communities accumulate more plant antagonists over time (1), and use  resources less efficiently and have more open, leaky nutrient cycles  (2). Conversely, high-diversity plant communities support a greater  diversity and activity of beneficial interaction partners across trophic  levels (3); diversify in their traits over time and space, within and  across species, to optimize temporal (intra- and interannual) and  spatial complementarity (4), create a more stable microclimate (5), and  foster higher top-down control of aboveground and belowground herbivores  by predators (6). In line with the observation that different species  play unique roles in ecosystems that are dynamic and multifaceted, the  particular mechanism contributing most to the higher performance and  stability of diverse plant communities might differ across ecosystem  functions, years, locations, and environmental change scenarios. This  indicates \u201cbetween-context insurance\u201d or \u201cacross-context  complementarity\u201d of different mechanisms. We introduce examples of  experiments that will be conducted to test our hypotheses and which  might inspire additional work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"877\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-s2.0-S1439179124000495-gr2_lrg-1024x877.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5375\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-s2.0-S1439179124000495-gr2_lrg-1024x877.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/1-s2.0-S1439179124000495-gr2_lrg-300x257.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/1-s2.0-S1439179124000495-gr2_lrg-768x658.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/1-s2.0-S1439179124000495-gr2_lrg-1536x1315.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/1-s2.0-S1439179124000495-gr2_lrg-2048x1754.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reference:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eisenhauer, N., K.
