Alone or accompanied? Early-life shrub interactions depend on environmental conditions and neighbours’ functional and phylogenetic distances
These results challenge the idea that lower phylogenetic or functional similarity always reduces competition, highlighting the need for future research to consider the complexity of plant interactions between neighbours and across ontogeny.
