Community‐scale effects and strain: Facilitation beyond conspicuous patterns
P Liancourt, J Dolezal - Journal of Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The large majority of 'facilitation studies' focus on benefactor–beneficiary interactions.
However, this may skew our view of the role of facilitation toward systems where it is most …
