Trait divergence and indirect interactions allow facilitation of congeneric species.

Annals of botany - 1 Nov 2012

Beltrán Elisa, Valiente-Banuet Alfonso, Verdú Miguel

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plant facilitation occurs when the presence of a plant (i.e. a nurse plant) modifies the environment, making it more favourable for the establishment and survival of other species (i.e. facilitated plants), which can germinate and grow nearby. Facilitative associations can be maintained or turned into competition as the facilitated seedling grows. According to the competition-relatedness hypothesis...
