The speed and slope of plant self‐thinning are all affected by plant–plant interactions across environmental gradients. Possible mechanisms driving the self‐thinning dynamics include the relative strength of root versus shoot competition, and the interplay between competition and facilitation. Although these mechanisms often act in concert, their relative importance has not yet been fully explored...
The changes in plant–plant interactions along environmental gradients have been a focus of recent ecological research. It has been suggested that both above‐ and below‐ground competition and their interplay vary along gradients, but few studies have investigated this idea, and in most cases, the role of facilitation has not been considered, despite its importance in high stress environments. Here...
Recent years have seen a growing body of evidence showing that plant competition and facilitation usually operate simultaneously to drive population dynamics, community structure and ecosystem functions. However, the potential role of facilitation in spatial patterning of plant populations has rarely been explicitly examined. We used a ‘zone‐of‐influence’ model to explore how facilitation interacts...
