Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future
1. Once neglected, the role of facilitative interactions in plant communities has received
considerable attention in the last two decades, and is now widely recognized. It is timely to …

Ain't no mountain high enough: plant invasions reaching new elevations
Most studies of invasive species have been in highly modified, lowland environments, with
comparatively little attention directed to less disturbed, high‐elevation environments …

Plant invasions into mountains and alpine ecosystems: current status and future challenges
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in understanding patterns and processes of plant
invasions into mountains. Here, we synthesise current knowledge about the spread of non …

Facilitation and the invasibility of plant communities
LA Cavieres - Journal of Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
One of the most studied emergent functions of plant community diversity is the resistance of
diverse communities to non‐native invasions. As emphasized in this Special Feature …

Moving forward on facilitation research: response to changing environments and effects on the diversity, functioning and evolution of plant communities
Once seen as anomalous, facilitative interactions among plants and their importance for
community structure and functioning are now widely recognized. The growing body of …

Priority effects: Emerging principles for invasive plant species management
Many anthropic activities generate soil disturbances, favoring competitive, fast growing
invasive plant species at the expense of natives. Active restoration of invasion-resistant plant …

Positive interactions between alpine plant species and the nurse cushion plant Laretia acaulis do not increase with elevation in the Andes of central Chile
In alpine habitats, positive interactions among plants tend to increase with elevation as a
result of altitudinal increase in environmental harshness. However, in mountains located in …

Human disturbance and upward expansion of plants in a warming climate
Climate change is expected to trigger an upward expansion of plants in mountain regions,
and, although there is strong evidence that many native species have already shifted their …

Microclimatic modifications of cushion plants and their consequences for seedling survival of native and non-native herbaceous species in the high Andes of central …
Cushion plants are one of the most common growth forms in alpine habitats. Their low
stature, dense canopy, and compact form allow them to decouple their microclimate from the …
