Abstract
Seasonality and long-term environmental variability afect species diversity through their efects on the dynamics of species. To investigate such efects, we ftted a dynamic and heterogeneous species abundance model generating the lognormal species abundance distribution to an assemblage of freshwater zooplankton sampled fve times a year (June–October) during the ice-free period over 28 years (1990–2017) in Lake Atnsjøen (Norway). By applying a multivariate stochastic community dynamics model for describing the fuctuations in abundances, we show that the community dynamics was driven by environmental variability in spring (i.e., June). In contrast, community-level ecological heterogeneity is highest in autumn. The autumn months (i.e., September and October) that rearranged the community are most likely crucial months to monitor long-term changes in community structure. Indeed, noises from early summer are fltered away, making it easier to track long-term changes. The community returned faster towards equilibrium when ecological heterogeneity was the highest (i.e., in September and October). This occurred because of stronger density-regulation in months with highest ecological heterogeneity. The community responded to the long-term warming of water temperature with decreasing species diversity and increasing abundance. Unevenness associated with variabilities in abundances might afect species interactions within the community. These can have consequences for the stability and functioning of the ecosystem.
