Claim · model-written summary
Common alien plants competing with widely naturalized natives did not show the general growth reduction under heterogeneous soil.
Verbatim
e0“but this was not the case for the common aliens when they were competing with a native that is widely naturalized elsewhere.”
t0“alien plants”
e1“the growth of the alien plants, irrespective of whether they are relatively rare or common in Germany, was reduced by competition”
