Mediterranean grasslands are highly stable because recovery is possible after the destruction of floristic composition by discrete disturbances. Experimental evidence indicates that during the successional convergence process, pasture-herbivore interaction is the essential mechanism of stability control. Without this interaction, and regardless of the occurrence of initial changes in species composition, grasslands present a successional divergence that expresses a trend in the variation of their species composition regulated by interspecific competition. On a regional scale, and considering the response of ecological systems after a range of disturbances, the trend is towards an increase in relative stability with altitude. This is probably related to the pattern of ecosystem change towards greater ecological persistence.
