Model 1: Mixed effects model estimating the effect of log10 diversity (LDiv) on stress-induced changes in biodiversity effects over the course of the experiment (Day). Model 2: Mixed effects model estimating the effect of the weighted mean species stress tolerance (Tol) and per capita strength of interspecific interactions (Inter) on changes in biodiversity effects at day 21 and 28. Means were weighted for the relative species abundance. Tolerance was calculated as the ratio between the species monoculture yield at 250 μg l−1 atrazine and in control conditions. The strength of interspecific interactions was based on the parameter estimates of the community model (see the ‘Methods' section). s.e. is the standard error of the estimated fixed effects.
