The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Plant Facilitation and Phylogenetics (2013, background): “Multiple shifts between facilitation and competition may occur not only depending on the life stage of the facilitated species but also owing to spatiotemporal fluctuations in the environment (Tielborger & Kadmon 2000, Soliveres et al. 2010).”
Uncovering multiscale effects of aridity and biotic interactions on the functional structure of Mediterranean shrublands (2013, background): “…often been used to infer the impact of facilitation or competition on community structure (e.g. Pielou 1962; Fowler 1986; Pugnaire, Armas & Maestre 2011), for example, by comparing the number of species present inside and outside nurse plant species (Cavieres & Badano 2009; Soliveres et al. 2010).”
