Description:
Our objective was to determine the resource most limiting to plant growth within a semi-arid plant association. We hypothesized that the addition of nitrogen (N) would elicit an increase in biomass more than additions of water, light, phosphorus (P), potassium (K), or sulfur (S). Treatments included the addition of water, N, P, K, or S, or reduction of ambient light on two sites in southwestern Montana within the Festuca idahoensis/Agropyron spicatum plant association. Nitrogen was the only treatment that increased plant community biomass, specifically native grass biomass (about 50% greater than the control). The addition of water decreased above-ground plant community biomass. Our results suggest that N is the primary limiting resource for the dominant functional group within the F. idahoensis/A. spicatum plant association. ... Read more

Description:
The most important processes shaping communities are likely to leave observable imprints on their spatial structure. The net outcome of positive and negative interactions among plants has been proposed to vary inversely with environmental harshness. In the Mediterranean-type matorral of central Chile, slope aspect strongly influences mesoclimatic conditions: equatorial-facing slope are xeric and are dominated by spiny shrubs and cacti, while evergreen sclerophyllous trees dominate polar-facing slopes due to their more mesic conditions. Here we use spatial pattern analyses to infer on the interactions that shape community structure in this matorral. We sampled the vegetation on two polar- and equatorial-facing slopes and assessed the dominant interaction at each slope through: (1) a species co-occurrence index (C-score) for the entire community; (2) the frequencies of negative and positive associations between species pairs; and (3) the species richness at each slope. Our results indicated that negative spatial associations dominated plant assemblages on all slopes, but the importance of negative associations decreased from mesic (~30%) to xeric slopes (~16%). Species richness was higher on xeric than on mesic slopes. Although competition seems to be the main biotic force structuring communities on both mesic and xeric slopes, we suggest that the decrease in importance of negative interactions from mesic to xeric habitats could produce an increase in diversity. ...
