Abstract Environmental change drivers (ECDs) impact ecological communities in various ways, from enrichment that increases species' performance and abundance, to stressors reduce their reproduction growth. These effects can affect species coexistence as well ecosystem functioning the relationship between biodiversity function (BEF). Predicting of ECDs on BEF relationships requires understanding how fundamental population parameters, including intrinsic rate increase ( r ), carrying capacity K interspecific interactions (). Here, we use numerical simulations based theoretical models show explicit links these parameters nature relationships. Depending mean variance community members, or decrease both intercept slope. We further derive hypotheses about will be affected by multiple when consider functions. Our simple approach provides a robust framework explain why disparate studies meta‐analyses come opposing conclusions resilience sensitivity anthropogenic influences. modeling approaches offer generalized predictive guide conservation, restoration, green infrastructure design under environmental change.
