1 Introduction Explanations for multispecies coexistence in ecological communities have largely been sought at the species level by emphasizing mean differences among species driven by competitive interactions or life-history trade-offs (Gravel et al. 2011; Violle and Jiang 2009; Clark et al. 2010; Kraft et al. 2015; Valladares et al. 2015).

Abstract Biodiversity collapse, driven by escalating environmental changes, poses significant threats to ecosystem stability and the provision of essential ecosystem services. Understanding the recoverability of collapsed food webs thus is crucial for devising effective conservation strategies. This study delves into the theoretical exploration of the recoverability of food webs from a collapsed state.
