The results showed that FD and SD have opposite responses to short-term fertilization. The increased FD suggests enhanced niche differentiation between species remaining after fertilization, which caused species loss. This study highlights the importance of examining FD in assessing fertilization-induced biodiversity loss and its impacts on ecosystem functioning in grasslands.
