Temporal shifts from facilitation to competition occur between closely related taxa (2008, background): “Empirical studies indicate that facilitative interactions increase in intensity and importance with abiotic stress, whereas negative interactions prevail under more benign conditions (Bertness & Callaway 1994; Greenlee & Callaway 1996; Hacker & Gaines 1997; Michalet et al . 2006, see discussion in ”
Interactions between marsh plant species vary in direction and strength depending on environmental and consumer context (2007, result): “Results from the current study showing increasingly negative species interactions between plants in less stressful marshes are also consistent with previous research across environmental stress gradients (Choler et al. 2001; Holzapfel et al. 2006; Michalet et al. 2006; but see Maestre et al. 2006).”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “Positive effects of partial canopy cover on seedling recruitment have been detected in other Mediterranean forests, but the facilitative effects seem to disappear towards the driest end of the gradient (Maestre et al. 2006).”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “…study led to considerable debate; Lortie & Callaway (2006) concluded that study selection for the analysis was not rigorous, and that differences in stress gradient lengths between studies could have a considerable impact on results – criticisms that have been disputed by Maestre et al. (2006).”
Refining the stress‐gradient hypothesis for competition and facilitation in plant communities (2009, unknown): “Recent syntheses and discussions on facilitation have also reviewed the strengths and limitations of the SGH ( Maestre et al . 2005, 2006; Lortie & Callaway 2006; Callaway 2007), provided clear guidelines on the issues that should be tackled by future field studies to overcome them (Brooker et al. ”
Inclusion of biotic stress (consumer pressure) alters predictions from the stress gradient hypothesis (2009, background): “In the latest attempt, published in this journal,Maestre et al. (2009) convincingly argue that consideration of the life history of interacting species (competitor versus stress tolerant, sensu”
Weak and variable relationships between environmental severity and small‐scale co‐occurrence in alpine plant communities (2007, background): “Standardized effect size and environmental severity The SGH would predict a positive correlation between the standardized effect size and TS/CM/VC (= the warmer the microclimate/the more productive the vegetation, the more important the role of competition and hence the higher the number of checkerb”
The role of plant interactions in the restoration of degraded ecosystems: a meta‐analysis across life‐forms and ecosystems (2009, background): “There were some studies where all individuals emerged or survived or not emerged or survived, and because this could produce odds ratio values that require division by 0, the odds ratios were calculated adding 1 to the number of individuals in each category for every study (Hyatt et al. 2003; Maest”
