• Using competitive and facilitative interactions in intercropping systems enhances crop productivity and nutrient-use efficiency (2004, background): “Secondly, wheat with a greater competitive ability acquires more P from the root zone of both wheat and chickpea, resulting in P depletion in the chickpea rhizosphere (Li et al., 2002b).”
• An overview of rhizosphere processes related with plant nutrition in major cropping systems in China (2004, background): “Clearly, interactions of root systems or rhizosphere between maize and faba bean played an important role in interspecific facilitation of phosphorus uptake (Figure 2) (Li et al., 1999, 2003; Zhang et al., 2001; Zhang and Li, 2003).”
• Current knowledge and future research opportunities for modeling annual crop mixtures. A review (2019, unknown): “For belowground resources, especially P, the strongest effect of increased P use in faba bean – maize relay-strip intercrops was linked to decomposition of roots of the species harvested first (Li et al. 2003) and to slight direct facilitation during co-growth.”
• Nitrogen Fixation of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Interacting with a Non-legume in Two Contrasting Intercropping Systems (2006, background): “Furthermore, the N and P acquisition of faba bean was improved in maize/ faba bean intercropping (Li et al., 2003) like the present study.”
• Strategies and methods for studying the rhizosphere—the plant science toolbox (2009, methodology): “Systems with complete or partial partitioning of different soil compartments have been employed for intercropping studies both, under laboratory conditions or in the field to investigate synergistic or competitive interactions with respect to acquisition of nutrients (Li et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Intercropping with legume for agroecological cropping systems: Complementarity and facilitation processes and the importance of soil microorganisms. A review (2017, background): “Li et al. (2003, 2004, 2009) demonstrated that intercropping significantly facilitated indirect P uptake.”
• Effect of intercropping on crop yield and chemical and microbiological properties in rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and faba bean (Vicia faba L.) (2007, background): “Most studies on intercropping have focused on resource utilization, including water (Snaydon and Harris 1981; Shackle and Hall 1984), light (Donald 1985), and nutrients (Chowdhury and Rosario 1994; Li et al. 2003a,b).”
• YIELD AND PRODUCTIVITY OF COMPONENT CROPS IN A MAIZE- SOYBEAN INTERCROPPING SYSTEM AS AFFECTED BY TIME OF PLANTING AND SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT (2011, background): “The higher productivity of the intercrop system compared to the sole crop may have resulted from complementary and efficient use of growth resource by the component crops (Li et al., 2003; Li et al., 2006).”
• Effect of narrow-row planting patterns on crop competitive and economic advantage in maize–soybean relay strip intercropping system (2017, result): “Similar results were reported in the other intercropping systems (Li et al., 2003; Mahmoudi et al., 2013).”
• Synergistic effect of inorganic N and P fertilizers and organic inputs from Gliricidia sepium on productivity of intercropped maize in Southern Malawi (2007, background): “…and the increased maize productivity in the intercropping (without inorganic N and P fertilizer) relative to the recommended practice could be explained in terms of interspecific facilitation in nutrient availability (Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen 2005; Li et al. 2002, 2003; Zhang and Li 2003).”
• Effects of intercropping and nitrogen application on nitrate present in the profile of an Orthic Anthrosol in Northwest China (2005, background): “Previous results of the same experiment (Li et al., 2003b) showed that N uptake was increased to 152–175 kg ha 1 for intercropped wheat from 79 to 115 kg ha 1 for monocropping wheat at different N rates of application.”
• Phosphorus availability and microbial community in the rhizosphere of intercropped cereal and legume along a P-fertilizer gradient (2016, background): “For the few published results derived from field trials, the benefits of intercropping on P acquisition have been estimated through the measurement of P accumulation in the plant biomass, or P offtake (Li et al. 2001; Li et al. 2003; Hauggaard-Nielsen et al. 2009).”
• Intercropping legumes and cereals increases phosphorus use efficiency; a meta-analysis (2020, result): “This confirms reports in the literature (Li et al. 2003, 2020b).”
