The paper shows that diverse ecosystems in North America are more productive and stable under drought, driven by complementarity among ecosystem types.

The paper investigates how landscape diversity affects vegetation productivity at the kilometer scale using satellite data and land cover analysis, finding a universal association between landscape diversity and productivity.

The paper links terrestrial land cover changes to fish diversity in a subtropical river catchment, showing LULC effects up to 20 km upstream and explaining 60% of species richness variance.
