• Plant ecology's guilty little secret: understanding the dynamics of plant competition (2013, background): “Many different mechanisms have been implicated in the beneficial interactions that occur within intercrops to enhance the LER, including niche differentiation, the mobilization of P on P-deficient soils (Li et al. 2007) and compensatory growth (Lithourgidis et al. 2011).”

• Contribution of interspecific interactions and phosphorus application to sustainable and productive intercropping systems (2013, background): “Similar results have also been obtained on a low-phosphorus but high-nitrogen soil over four years of field experiments and the grain yields of maize and faba bean were 43% and 26% higher in intercropping than in monocropping (Li et al., 2007).”
