Differing effects of shade‐induced facilitation on growth and survival during the establishment of a chenopod shrub (2003, background): “…canopies (Frost & Edinger 1991; Bertness & Callaway 1994; Callaway & Walker 1997), but in mesic ecosystems the advantages of being below the canopy diminish, and plants in open spaces may outperform shaded plants (Belsky 1994; Barnes & Archer 1996; Greenlee & Callaway 1996; Peltzer & Köchy 2001).”
Light, not nitrogen, limits growth of the grass Deschampsia flexuosa in boreal forests (2004, background): “Most studies that have dealt with above- and belowground competition, and how the total competition may change along gradients in productivity, have been performed in grasslands without a canopy cover of trees (e.g., Wilson and Tilman 1995; Peltzer et al. 1998; Cahill 1999; Peltzer and Köchy 2001).”
Phosphorus limitation and competitive capacities of Pinus halepensis and Quercus ilex subsp. rotundifolia on different soils (2004, background): “It is not clear whether competition could be more or less intense in resource-rich or in resource-poor environments, this being a major subject of discussion and research Grace 1991; Huisman 1994; Peltzer and Kochy 2001 .”
WOODY PLANT ESTABLISHMENT AND SPATIAL HETEROGENEITY IN GRASSLANDS (2003, background): “However, persistence and abundance of plants in communities may be strongly influenced by variation in the competitive effects exerted by neighbors (Peltzer and Kochy 2001).”
