Effects of 'target' plant species body size on neighbourhood species richness and composition in old-field vegetation.
Competition is generally regarded as an important force in organizing the structure of vegetation, and evidence from several experimental studies of species mixtures suggests that larger mature plant size elicits a competitive advantage. However, these findings are at odds with the fact that large a...
