Facilitation and biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in crop production systems and their role in sustainable farming (2021, methodology): “If facilitative interactions underpin many of the benefits of crop mixtures, the analytical framework provided by the SGH could be applied to analysing the outcome of crop mixture trials (e.g. Betencourt et al., 2012; Darch et al., 2018; Stefan et al., Submitted).”
Intercropping legumes and cereals increases phosphorus use efficiency; a meta-analysis (2020, background): “Several examples of such facilitation have been described in cereal/legume intercropping (Betencourt et al. 2012; Tang et al. 2014, 2016).”
Phosphorus availability and microbial community in the rhizosphere of intercropped cereal and legume along a P-fertilizer gradient (2016, background): “…durum wheat intercropped with faba bean; WF-F: faba bean intercropped with durum wheat results reported in various types of rhizobox or pot experiments (Devau et al. 2010 and 2011; Betencourt et al. 2012), and in a prior field experiment conducted by Tang et al. (2014) for intercropping systems.”
Increase in microbial biomass and phosphorus availability in the rhizosphere of intercropped cereal and legumes under field conditions (2014, result): “This result is in accordance with a former study that reported increased rhizosphere P availability in a durum wheat/ chickpea in pot experiment (Betencourt et al., 2012).”
