- Challenging the maximum rooting depth paradigm in grasslands and savannas (2015, background): “Empirical research from grasslands and savannas has shown interactions among spatial and temporal ecohydrological niche among functional groups (Dodd, Lauenroth & Welker 1998; Hipondoka et al. 2003).”
- Tree–grass coexistence in savannas revisited – insights from an examination of assumptions and mechanisms invoked in existing models (2004, background): “…Weltzin & McPherson 1997), data from others indicate an overlap rather than separation in rooting profiles of adult trees and grasses (Johns 1984; Richards & Caldwell 1987; Belsky 1990, 1994; Le Roux et al. 1995; Seghieri 1995; Mordelet et al. 1997; Smit & Rethman 2000; Hipondoka et al. 2003).”
- Refining the stress‐gradient hypothesis for competition and facilitation in plant communities (2009, unknown): “…predominant driver of stress − situations potentially found in environments such as arid and semi-arid areas (e.g. Reynolds et al. 2000; Carrick 2003; Hipondoka et al. 2003; Ludwig et al. 2004b) − shifts in the balance of net interactions from competition to facilitation with increasing stress are…”
- A patch-dynamics approach to savanna dynamics and woody plant encroachment – Insights from an arid savanna (2006, background): “In these studies, great differences were observed in the degree of niche separation, depending on abiotic factors and the species involved (e.g. Hesla et al., 1985; Knoop and Walker, 1985; Mordelet et al., 1997; Weltzin and McPherson, 1997; Hipondoka et al., 2003).”
