Impacts of ecosystem engineers on community attributes: effects of cushion plants at different elevations of the Chilean Andes (2006, background): “…correlational and more experimental evidence is needed, these results concur with the suggestion that mitigation of extreme low temperatures by cushions could be more critical for the persistence of other high-Andean plant species as elevation increases (Cavieres et al., 2002; Arroyo et al., 2003).”
Do facilitative interactions increase species richness at the entire community level? (2009, background): “Cushion-forming plants are one of the most conspicuous plant types found in exposed alpine habitats, and several studies have reported plant species growing inside of cushion plants and suggest a facilitative role for them (e.g. Nuñez, Aizen & Ezcurra 1999; Arroyo et al. 2003; Cavieres et al. 2002, ”
Partitioning net interactions among plants along altitudinal gradients to study community responses to climate change (2014, background): “…He, Bertness & Altieri (2013), the intercontinental pattern in alpine systems reported by Callaway et al. (2002) and smaller scale patterns reported in a number of other temperate alpine studies (Choler, Michalet & Callaway 2001; Arroyo et al. 2003; McIntire & Fajardo 2011; Cranston et al. 2012).”
Refining the stress‐gradient hypothesis for competition and facilitation in plant communities (2009, unknown): “…studies have substituted experimental manipulations for broad measurements of spatial associations, which include virtually all species in the community, and found clear patterns consistent with the SGH (e.g. Gutiérrez et al. 1993; Tewksbury & Lloyd 2001; Arroyo et al. 2003; Holzapfel et al. 2006).”
Assessing impacts of ecosystem engineers on community organization: a general approach illustrated by effects of a high‐Andean cushion plant (2006, background): “…low temperature has been reported for A. monantha in the Patagonian Andes of Chile, with cushions being 6 108C higher than surrounding open areas (Arroyo et al. 2003), and Silene acaulis in the central European Alps where cushion temperatures are 5 158C higher at air temperatures below 108C…”
Intertidal mussels as ecosystem engineers: their associated invertebrate biodiversity under contrasting wave exposures (2014, background): “Their ecological role is particularly relevant in stressful habitats, where bioengineers protect smaller species from the abiotic forces that would otherwise prevent many of them from occurring (Arroyo et al. 2003; Wright et al. 2006; He et al. 2013; Schöb et al. 2013; Watt and Scrosati 2013).”
Facilitation of the non-native Taraxacum officinale by native nurse cushion species in the high Andes of central Chile: are there differences between nurses? (2007, background): “However, unlike previous studies in alpine habitats where cushions were shown to provide warmer habitats compared to the surrounding environment (e.g. Arroyo et al. 2003; Körner 2003), the two cushions studied here maintained lower temperatures than the open spaces.”
Bioengineer effects on understory species richness, diversity, and composition change along an environmental stress gradient: Experimental and mensurative evidence (2013, background): “One recent study did use the same bioengineer species at different stress levels in a terrestrial system, finding that this plant increases species richness under stressful conditions but not in mild conditions (Arroyo et al., 2003).”
Nurse effect of the native cushion plant Azorella monantha on the invasive non-native Taraxacum officinale in the high-Andes of central chile (2005, unknown): “, 1998, in press) and higher temperatures (Arroyo et al., 2003; Körner, 2003) compared to their surrounding environment.”
Microclimatic Modifications of Cushion Plants and Their Consequences for Seedling Survival of Native and Non-native Herbaceous Species in the High Andes of Central Chile (2007, background): “Similar enhancement of temperatures within cushions compared to that of the surrounding air has been reported for cushions of Azorella monantha in the Patagonian Andes of southern Chile (Arroyo et al., 2003).”
Re‐analysis of meta‐analysis: support for the stress‐gradient hypothesis (2006, background): “This conclusion is intriguing in light of frequent spatial associations reported between species in these systems (Arriaga et al . 1993; Cavieres et al . 2000, 2002; Arroyo et al . 2002; Armas & Pugnaire 2005), experiments on single target species (Greenlee & Callaway 1996; Pugnaire & Luque 2001; ”
Weak and variable relationships between environmental severity and small‐scale co‐occurrence in alpine plant communities (2007, background): “Indeed, non-random co-occurrence indicative of facilitative relationships in high-mountain environments has mostly been reported between species of different growth forms (Carlsson & Callaghan 1991; Cavieres et al. 2002; Kalin-Arroyo et al. 2003; Klanderud 2005).”
