Plant community responses to nitrogen addition and increased precipitation: the importance of water availability and species traits (2011, result): “These results are well in agreement with the study in a semiarid savanna (Van der Waal et al., 2009).”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex in Mediterranean shrubland is explained by both direct and indirect interactions mediated by herbs (2010, background): “Competition for water has been shown to be a major interaction between herb species and tree seedlings in water-stressed systems (Knoop & Walker 1985; Ludwig et al. 2004; van der Waal et al. 2009), while competition for nutrients is more commonly involved in mesic systems (Pagès & Michalet 2003).”
