Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rain forest boundary in South America

Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding distributional ranges of stress‐intolerant species into harsh environments. We studied the role of nurse facilitation on the recruitment of perennial plants...
