Aims: The process of facilitation, where a species increases the survival, growth, and fitness of another species, is becoming increasingly recognized as a critical factor in shaping the structure of plant communities. This process is particularly im... Read More about Positive interactions can produce species-rich communities and increase species turnover through time.
