• Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “This may be explained by the frequency and magnitude of disturbances, which affect the availability of resources (e.g. Davis et al. 2000; Lake and Leishman 2004; Lembrechts et al. 2017), and facilitation (e.g. Cavieres et al. 2007) or competition (Cavieres et al. 2018) by resident native plants.”
• Survival and reproduction of plant species in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2014, background): “Their specializedmorphology has been assumed to be effective for trapping and retaining heat, and enhancing soil moisture (Körner & De Moraes, 1979; Núñez et al., 1999; Cavieres et al., 2008).”
• Positive associations between the cushion plant Arenaria polytrichoides (Caryophyllaceae) and other alpine plant species increase with altitude in the Sino-Himalayas (2010, background): “Alpine cushions can act as litter traps, and combined with the more favourable microclimate conditions within the cushion, this can create a very favourable micro-environment for the activity of microbial and decomposer organisms, resulting in locally increased nutrient release beneath cushions (Kör”
• Ain't no mountain high enough: plant invasions reaching new elevations (2009, background): “In the Chilean Andes, native cushion plants have been shown to facilitate the establishment and growth of the alien Taraxacum officinale (Cavieres et al. 2005, 2008), with the facilitative effects being stronger at higher elevations (Badano et al. 2007).”
