Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Under grazing, Festuca rubra was positively associated with J. maritimus.
- Association Under grazing, Puccinellia maritima was negatively associated with J. maritimus.
- Association Under grazing, Juncus gerardii was negatively associated with J. maritimus.
- Association Macro-detritivores were more common inside J. maritimus patches.
- Association Without grazing, E. atherica and F. rubra were negatively associated with J. maritimus.
- Observation Without grazing, P. maritima and J. gerardii were rare.
- Association Species association directions were independent of inundation gradient under either grazing condition.
- Mechanism Trait and abiotic analyses suggested associational resistance in grazed areas.
- Mechanism Light competition was inferred as the dominant process without grazing.
- Observation Grazing shifted plant interactions from competitive to facilitative.
- Mechanism The authors suggest soil-disturbing macro-detritivores may facilitate plant communities.
