Abstract

By analyzing a stochastic Lotka-Volterra (LV) equation, we show that the underlying logic behind the diversity-stability debate in ecology can be framed as a dimensionality-induced critical phase transition, that is, a transition separating the regime dominated by statistical averaging and a systemic tipping point. This phase transition framework unifies the opposing ecological predictions in the diversity-stability debate and sets an intrinsic diversity ceiling for stochastic ecological communities.
