A field test of the stress-gradient hypothesis along an aridity gradient (2011, methodology): “Nevertheless, future studies should include measurements of fitness for all beneficiary species along the stress gradient, as it will improve our understanding of the mechanisms behind our observed SGH outcome (Malkinson & Tielbörger 2010).”
Variability in functional traits mediates plant interactions along stress gradients (2013, background): “However, the shape of the severity–interaction relationship has recently been hotly debated in terms of its patterns at the extreme ends of the stress gradient (Michalet et al. 2006; Malkinson & Tielb€orger 2010), resource versus non-resource stressors (Maestre et al. *Correspondence author.”
Tree effects on grass growth in savannas: competition, facilitation and the stress‐gradient hypothesis (2013, background): “…processes occur simultaneously along the entirety of environmental gradients (Brooker & Callaghan 1998; Callaway 2007; Smit, Rietkerk & Wassen 2009; Malkinson & Tielborger 2010), the degree to which certain mechanisms impact the growth and fitness of neighbouring organisms may change significantly…”
