Strong facilitation in mild environments: the stress gradient hypothesis revisited (2010, background): “Indeed, several studies illustrate that such protection against grazing tends to have the most effect at intermediate herbivore pressure (Brooker et al. 2006; Smit et al. 2007).”
Facilitation and the niche: implications for coexistence, range shifts and ecosystem functioning (2016, background): “Research in both terrestrial and aquatic systems suggests that facilitation may collapse or switch back to competition once critical thresholds of environmental severity or disturbance intensity are exceeded (Maestre & Cortina 2004; Brooker et al. 2006; Le Bagousse-Pinguet, Gross & Straile 2012).”
Facilitation and sustainable agriculture: a mechanistic approach to reconciling crop production and conservation (2016, background): “Functional Ecology © 2015 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 30, 98–107 densities (Brooker et al. 2006); similarly, pest and disease resistance only appear when there is a moderate pathogen or pest burden on the crop but can be swamped by too much inoculum (Newton et al. 2002).”
Herbivore and neighbour effects on tundra plants depend on species identity, nutrient availability and local environmental conditions (2007, background): “However, these traits are also likely to be favoured because they affect grazer preference via both palatability (McNaughton 1978; Miller et al. 2007) and small stature in relation to neighbouring vegetation (e.g. Oksanen 1990; Mulder & Ruess 1998; Fowler 2002; Brooker et al. 2006).”
Facilitation research in marine systems: state of the art, emerging patterns and insights for future developments (2009, background): “descriptive and experimental studies have investigated the mechanisms by which these take place (Hay 1986; Callaway 1995; Stachowicz & Hay 1996; Cavieres, Quiroz & MolinaMontenegro 2007), their variation in respect to external conditions (Hacker & Bertness 1996; Leonard 2000; Choler, Michalet & Call”
Interactions between marsh plant species vary in direction and strength depending on environmental and consumer context (2007, background): “Few studies have investigated positive species interactions in harsh biotic environments, particularly within the context of environmental gradients (Brooker et al. 2006).”
