Inclusion of biotic stress (consumer pressure) alters predictions from the stress gradient hypothesis (2009, background): “Some authors found supportive evidence (Bertness & Ewanchuk 2002; Callaway et al. 2002; Sthultz, Gehring & Whitham 2007), whereas others found evidence against it (Pennings et al. 2003; Maestre & Cortina 2004; Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Freestone 2006).”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “These include relatively short-term experiments, a lack of adequate control for the occurrence of multiple stress factors or ontogenetic effects (but see Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Miriti 2006; Schiffers & Tielbörger 2006), or the effects of resource vs. non-resource stress factors (Michalet 2007).”
Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress. (2013, background): “But, the outcome of plant interactions has been shown to depend on ontogeny (Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Miriti 2006; Reisman-Berman 2007; Sthultz et al. 2007).”
Ontogenetic shifts in interactions of two dominant shrub species in a semi‐arid coastal sand dune system (2009, background): “Plant interactions depend on environmental severity (Bertness & Callaway 1994; Brooker & Callaghan 1998), its temporal variability (Tielbörger & Kadmon 2000; Kikvidze et al. 2006), and ontogeny of the interacting species (Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Schiffers & Tielbörger 2006).”
Nurse plant theory and its application in ecological restoration in lower subtropics of China (2008, background): “When the age and size of the nurse plant is similar to that of the target species, the negative effect of tussock plants will be enhanced [18].”
Re‐analysis of meta‐analysis: support for the stress‐gradient hypothesis (2006, background): “2002; Armas & Pugnaire 2005), experiments on single target species (Greenlee & Callaway 1996; Pugnaire & Luque 2001; Lortie & Turkington 2002), large-scale analyses of whole communities (Tewksbury & Lloyd 2001) and another extensive meta-analysis in a semi-arid system (Gomez-Aparicio et al .”
Uncovering multiscale effects of aridity and biotic interactions on the functional structure of Mediterranean shrublands (2013, background): “At the wettest part of the gradient, tall shrubs may have a strong competitive effect for light availability within their neighbourhood (Gasque & Garcia-Fayos 2004; Armas & Pugnaire 2005).”
The stress‐gradient hypothesis does not fit all relationships between plant–plant interactions and abiotic stress: further insights from arid environments (2006, background): “However, this is not always the case (see Tielbörger & Kadmon 2000; Maestre & Cortina 2004; Armas & Pugnaire 2005; and Barchuk et al .”
Facilitation in communities: underlying mechanisms, community and ecosystem implications (2016, background): “…& Gaines 1997; Holmgren, Scheffer & Huston 1997; Brooker & Callaghan 1998; Stachowicz 2001; Bruno, Stachowicz & Bertness 2003; Lortie et al. 2004; Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Brooker 2006; Padilla & Pugnaire 2006), and many empirical studies focused on the experimental test of the pioneer model of…”
The role of nurse plants in the restoration of degraded environments (2006, background): “…traits and site characteristics influence success rate and should be carefully considered © The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org Armas and Pugnaire 2005), but abiotic conditions seem to be the overriding factor, increasing the importance of positive effects in harsher…”
Effects of facilitation on community stability and dynamics: synthesis and future directions (2009, background): “…not been thoroughly addressed theoretically (but see Travis, Brooker &Dytham 2005), nor havemany empirical studies focused explicitly on temporal patterns in systems where facilitation is a predominant form of interaction (but see Armas & Pugnaire 2005;Miriti 2007; Butterfield et al., in press).”
Do facilitative interactions increase species richness at the entire community level? (2009, background): “The shelter provided by facilitator plants has been shown to increase the physiological performance, population density and reproduction of some particular beneficiary species (e.g. Pugnaire et al. 1996; Choler, Michalet & Callaway 2001; Maestre, Bautista & Cortina 2003; Armas & Pugnaire 2005).”
Spatio-temporal heterogeneity in abiotic factors modulate multiple ontogenetic shifts between competition and facilitation (2010, background): “…the previous studies, which can result in an effective niche separation between grasses and shrubs, and therefore a reduction of competition (e.g. Armas and Pugnaire 2005; our case) or in a niche overlap, which together with the increase in biomass can lead to higher competition (e.g. Miriti,…”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “Trait-based biotic interactions can also be positive (facilitative); in fact the same traits can have positive and negative impacts on neighbours depending on conditions during a single season (Armas & Pugnaire 2005).”
Plant Facilitation and Phylogenetics (2013, background): “In contrast, in some other cases, adult plants remain spatially associated, suggesting that facilitation does not turn into competition with time (Pugnaire et al. 1996, Armas & Pugnaire 2005).”
