Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Reference density criteria substantially changed inferred competitive interactions.
- Method / resource The maximum-biomass model favored the larger species and nearly inhibited growth of the smaller species.
- Method / resource The nitrogen-uptake equivalency model produced interactions closer to neutral competition.
- Method / resource The biomass inflection-point model was the most sensitive and informative across mixtures.
- Recommendation Reference density selection should meet sensitivity and within-species competition criteria.
