Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “Evidence of facilitation in more moderate environments does suggest that its role may have been overlooked because of assumptions derived from the stress gradient hypothesis (Temperton et al. 2007; Holmgren & Scheffer 2010).”
Facilitation in communities: underlying mechanisms, community and ecosystem implications (2016, methodology): “However, when extreme years were considered, positive effects of shrub on soil moisture were greatest at intermediate points along the spatial aridity gradient, consistent with a hump-backed model of plant–plant interactions (Michalet et al. 2006; Holmgren & Scheffer 2010).”
A field test of the stress-gradient hypothesis along an aridity gradient (2011, background): “Although competition is assumed to be most important in mesic sites, other outcomes might be possible, depending on the specific attributes of the co-occurring species and the characteristics of the studied microsites (Holmgren & Scheffer 2010).”
Indirect facilitation promotes macrophyte survival and growth in freshwater ecosystems threatened by eutrophication (2012, background): “…may prevent the decline in species richness and abundance due to competitive exclusion and increasing competition-induced stress under eutrophication as observed along abiotic stress gradients in terrestrial ecosystems (e.g. Hacker & Gaines 1997; Michalet et al. 2006; Holmgren & Scheffer 2010).”
Multiple factors modulate tree growth complementarity in Central European mixed forests (2018, result): “Our findings confirm recent notions about facilitative or complementarity effects under increasing temperature (Forrester et al., 2013; Holmgren & Scheffer, 2010).”
Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress. (2013, background): “Holmgren & Scheffer (2010) suggest that moister or warmer ecosystems may be just apparently benign and that species present there can still be stressed.”
Positive shrub–tree interactions facilitate woody encroachment in boreal peatlands (2015, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2015 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 103, 58–66 and the demands of the interacting individuals change during their ontogeny (Holmgren, Scheffer & Huston 1997; Callaway 2007; Holmgren & Scheffer 2010).”
