Questions
As ecosystem engineers, alpine cushion and shrub species have been widely documented, but their roles as co‐existing nurse plants have not been explicitly compared. In this study, our questions were: (1) what are the differences in engineering effects between cushions and shrubs in alpine ecosystems in southwestern China? (2) what are the differences in their influences on the attributes...
Question: Does the facilitative effect of cushion plants increase with elevation as a result of increases in environmental harshness? Does this hypothesis apply in the Sino‐Himalayan Mountains?
Location: Lakaka Pass on the Baima Snow Mountains (28°20′N, 99°05′E), SW China.
Methods: We evaluated the spatial association of several plant species with the cushion plant Arenaria polytrichoides (Caryophyllaceae)...
