Safe sites for tree regeneration in wooded pastures: A case of associational resistance? (2005, background): “…and high irradiance; (2) increasing water availability (water uplift, higher water infiltration rate and reduced evaporation); (3) improving nutrient availability; (4) offering physical support; (5) reducing soil compaction and erosion or (6) protecting from herbivores (e.g. Flores & Jurado 2003).”
Plant interactions govern population dynamics in a semi‐arid plant community (2005, background): “As in other semi-arid environments (Flores & Jurado 2003), soil nutrient content was higher (Fig.”
The role of nurse plants in the restoration of degraded environments (2006, background): “This effect is more common in 84 environments where abiotic factors or herbivory limit plant performance, such as in arid 85 (Flores and Jurado 2003) or alpine habitats (Cavieres et al.”
Direct and indirect interactions co‐determine species composition in nurse plant systems (2013, methodology): “2.14.0 (R Development Core Team) using the packages ‘car’ (Fox and Weisberg 2011) for type-II ANOVA, ‘effects’ (Fox 2003) for constructing effect plots, ‘lme4’ (Bates et al. 2011) for generalized linear mixed models, and ‘nlme’ (Pinheiro et al. 2011) for linear mixed models.”
The role of plant interactions in the restoration of degraded ecosystems: a meta‐analysis across life‐forms and ecosystems (2009, background): “Accordingly, a recent review of 296 nurse–prote´ ge´ interactions conducted by Flores & Jurado (2003) found more than half of these interactions to occur in arid and semiarid communities.”
Nurse plant theory and its application in ecological restoration in lower subtropics of China (2008, background): “In recent years, the phenomenon of nurse plant has been investigated in degraded habitats, including Mediterranean mountain, alpine habitat, arid desert, semi-arid shrub-land, northern dry forest, savanna, ecotone between farmland and pasture, swamp, tropical sub-humid forest, marshes, and so on [2,”
Testing the roles of competition, facilitation and stochasticity on community structure in a species‐rich assemblage (2014, methodology): “Accounting for the response to drought is important because most facilitative effects in dry lands occur through stress amelioration and thus depend on tolerance (Flores & Jurado 2003; Brooker et al. 2008), so functional groups separate succulent and non-succulent plants.”
Ontogenetic shifts in interactions of two dominant shrub species in a semi‐arid coastal sand dune system (2009, background): “…authors have shown how many woody species in such habitats become established under standing vegetation (Herrera et al. 1994; Barnes &Archer 1999; Flores & Jurado 2003), and ‘‘nursing’’ by shrubs is a pivotal feature of the community (Callaway &Walker 1997; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2004; Padilla &…”
Soil microbial community under a nurse-plant species changes in composition, biomass and activity as the nurse grows (2013, background): “Under such extreme abiotic conditions facilitation by nurse species is common, particularly in dryenvironments (Flores and Jurado, 2003).”
Canopy vs. soil effects of shrubs facilitating tree seedlings in Mediterranean montane ecosystems (2005, background): “Facilitation of seedlings by adult plants underlies successful regeneration of many species under environmental stressful conditions (Niering et al. 1963; Flores & Jurado 2003), thereby playing a key role in shaping the structure of plant communities.”
Shrubs influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities in a semi-arid environment (2011, background): “In harsh, arid environments community dynamics is rather governed by positive interactions (Callaway and Mahall, 2007; Flores and Jurado, 2003; Pugnaire et al., 1996a; Tirado and Pugnaire, 2003).”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “2003; Flores & Jurado 2003).”
Do facilitative interactions increase species richness at the entire community level? (2009, background): “The best example of this phenomenon is facilitation by nurse species (i.e. nurse-protégé, Flores & Jurado 2003), where one species (the facilitator, benefactor or nurse plant) provides shelter from physical stress or herbivory to other plant species (i.e. the beneficiary species; Callaway 1995).”
Is the change of plant–plant interactions with abiotic stress predictable? A meta‐analysis of field results in arid environments (2005, background): “Previous reviews have evaluated the importance and consequences of plant‐plant interactions for community structure and composition (Connell 1983; Schoener 1983; Fowler 1986; Goldberg & Barton 1992), their degree of commonness between environments ( Flores & Jurado 2003 ), the underlying mechanisms ”
