Species-specific responses of an alpine plant community under simulated environmental change (2008, background): “Furthermore, these studies, and removal experiments in the Alaskan tussock tundra (Bret-Harte et al. 2004), have shown that the role of competition for the population dynamics of single species might increase under environmental change, in particular when nutrient availability increases.”
Climate change effects on species interactions in an alpine plant community (2005, background): “Bret-Harte et al. (2004) found possible facilitation of Ledum palustre on one forb in the Alaskan tundra.”
Identifying mechanisms of competition in multi‐species communities (2007, background): “Single species (Miller 1994; Herben et al . 1997; Dormann et al . 2000; Gerdol et al . 2000; Bertness & Ewanchuk 2002; Fowler 2002; Gebauer et al . 2002; Brewer 2003) or functional groups of species (Kochy & Wilson 2000; Bret-Harte et al . 2004) have been removed to study competitive interactions ”
Ecosystem properties determined by plant functional group identity (2010, methodology): “We collected data on above-ground biomass using non-destructive point-intercept sampling (Bret-Harte et al. 2004).”
The relative importance of neighbours and abiotic environmental conditions for population dynamic parameters of two alpine plant species (2005, background): “Only a few climate change experiments have focused on species interactions (but see Shevtsova et al. 1997; Hobbie et al. 1999; Bret-Harte et al. 2004; Dormann et al. 2004; Klanderud 2005), and most of these have assessed the effects of only one or a few selected species on neighbours (but see Bret-H”
Effects of understory removal and tree girdling on soil microbial community composition and litter decomposition in two Eucalyptus plantations in South China (2011, background): “2009) and cause significant changes in soil microclimate (Matsushima & Chang 2007) and nutrient availability (Bret-Harte et al. 2004; Matsushima & Chang 2007).”
Advanced snowmelt causes shift towards positive neighbour interactions in a subarctic tundra community (2006, background): “…removal experiments have induced positive (Sammul et al., 2000; Gerdol et al., 2002), negative (Shevtsova et al., 1997; Aksenova et al., 1998) and neutral responses (i.e. no interactions, or positive and negative interactions equally strong) (Bret-Harte et al., 2004; Totland et al., 2004).”
Facilitation research in marine systems: state of the art, emerging patterns and insights for future developments (2009, background): “…been widely documented in harsh terrestrial ecosystems, such as deserts, dunes, semi-arid steppe or alpine tundra (Choler, Michalet & Callaway 2001; Bret-Harte et al. 2004; GómezAparicio et al. 2004; Cavieres, Quiroz & Molina-Montenegro 2007; Brooker et al. 2008), but less frequently in less…”
Dominant Grasses Suppress Local Diversity in Restored Tallgrass Prairie (2010, result): “These results differed from previous studies that demonstrated an increase in soil nutrient availability with neighbor removals in an old field (Symstad & Tilman 2001) and in Alaskan tussock tundra (Bret-Harte et al. 2004).”
