Plant–plant interactions are increasingly recognized as a key driver of community
organization and ecosystem processes in alpine environments. However, patterns and …

Individual-based forest ecology and management, where the focus is on individual plants in
the context of their populations, draws on a large body of different quantitative methods that …

This book offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to desert ecology and adopts a
strong evolutionary focus. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis …

Aims: The stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts how plant interactions change along
environmental stress gradients. We tested the SGH in an aridity gradient, where support for …

The field of plant population ecology has advanced considerably in the last decade since
the first edition was published. In particular there have been substantial and ongoing …

Studies of facilitative interactions as drivers of plant richness along environmental gradients
often assume the existence of an overarching stress gradient that equally affects the …

Questions Does facilitation among plants increase with elevation in a humid tropical alpine
system in which climatic and ecological conditions differ from other alpine environments …

Abstract Background and Aims The stress gradient hypothesis (SGH), the view that
competition prevails in undisturbed and productive environments, and shifts to facilitation in …

For a long time, interaction between plants in both general plant and forest science has
been somewhat limited to competition, although an intuitive, non-scientific understanding of …
