Ecosystem engineering facilitates invasions by exotic plants in high‐Andean ecosystems (2007, background): “For instance, these cushions may modulate substrate temperatures, maintaining lower extreme maximum temperatures and higher extreme minimum temperatures than surrounding habitats, and also increase soil moisture and nutrient availability (Arroyo et al . 2003; Badano et al . 2006; Cavieres et al . ”
Microclimatic Modifications of Cushion Plants and Their Consequences for Seedling Survival of Native and Non-native Herbaceous Species in the High Andes of Central Chile (2007, background): “Badano et al. (2006) reported that at 3600 m C. arvense and E. andicola occurred only within Azorella monantha cushions, whereas H. comosum was significantly associated with cushions.”
Feedbacks between geomorphology and biota controlling Earth surface processes and landforms: A review of foundation concepts and current understandings (2011, background): “A relevant example of a foundation ligneous plant is given by the cushion plant Azorella monantha on highAndean mountain sides which modifies substrate temperatures, soil moisture and the availability of mineral nutrient resources in a constraining physical environment (Badano et al., 2006).”
Do facilitative interactions increase species richness at the entire community level? (2009, background): “…with abiotic stress in arid and semiarid habitats (Maestre, Valladares & Reynolds 2005), but the evidence available so far, from a range of stressful habitats, overwhelmingly supports the importance of positive interactions (e.g. Callaway et al. 2002; Lortie & Callaway 2006; Brooker et al. 2008).”
