Flooding and Soil Properties Control Plant Intra- and Interspecific Interactions in Salt Marshes

Flooding and Soil Properties Control Plant Intra- and Interspecific Interactions in Salt Marshes

The stress gradient hypothesis (SGH) states that plant-plant interactions shift from competition to facilitation in increasing stress conditions. In salt marshes, edaphic properties can weaken the application of the SGH by amplifying the intensity of flooding and controlling plant zonation. We ident...
