Nitrogen rhizodeposition of legumes. A review (2011, background): “Benefits and use of legumes in agrosystems Because of their ability to fix N2, legumes are considered to be involved in ecological facilitation processes in all ecosystems (Loreau and Hector, 2001; Rochon et al., 2004; Padilla and Pugnaire, 2006).”
Nitrogen Rhizodeposition of Legumes (2011, background): “Because of their ability to fix N2, legumes are considered to be involved in ecological facilitation processes in all ecosystems (Loreau and Hector, 2001; Rochon et al., 2004; Padilla and Pugnaire, 2006 ).”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “Several studies have demonstrated the importance of facilitation for the maintenance of biodiversity in arctic and alpine habitats (e.g. Choler et al. 2001; Callaway et al. 2002), and these habitats are predicted to be amongst the most sensitive to global warming (Guisan & Theurillat 2000; ACIA…”
Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “Padilla and Pugnaire (2006) reviewed how such facilitation by earlyarriving nurse species has been used in restoration of degraded lands.”
Salvage Logging Versus the Use of Burnt Wood as a Nurse Object to Promote Post‐Fire Tree Seedling Establishment (2011, background): “Revisiting Facilitation Theory Facilitation increasingly is being proposed as an ecological mechanism that could help to restore ecosystems while reducing management impact and costs (Castro et al. 2002, 2006; Gómez-Aparico et al. 2004; Padilla & Pugnaire 2006; Brooker et al. 2008).”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “Facilitation has proven to be especially important for restoration in semiarid environments, for instance through planting nurse plants to provide appropriate conditions for survival and growth of target species (Padilla and Pugnaire 2006, Siles et al. 2008).”
Rethinking species selection for restoration of arid shrublands (2009, positive): “253 Abundant literature has shown that early- and mid-successional shrub canopies 254 reduce irradiance and temperature at the soil surface, thus facilitating the recruitment of 255 more drought-sensitive species (see review in Padilla & Pugnaire 2006).”
Multiple Recruitment Limitation Causes Arrested Succession in Mediterranean Cork Oak Systems (2007, background): “Some concrete actions could include a combination of Cistus removal, acorn addition, planting of nurse shrubs (for example, Genista) to facilitate oak seedling germination and survival (Go ´ mez-Aparicio and others 2004; Padilla and Pugnaire 2006; Smit and others 2007), as well as facilitating pre”
Ecosystem engineering in space and time. (2007, background): “A better understanding of ecosystem engineers and the functions they perform also can help us deliberately use ecosystem engineers to do work for us. In restoration ecology, there has been an increased emphasis on bottomup approaches and directing ecological succession (D’Antonio et al. 2004), such ”
