The Role of Chemical Inhibition (Allelopathy) in Vegetational Composition
Abstract
MULLER, CORNELIUS H. (University of California, Santa. Barbara.) The role of chemical inhibition (allelopathy) in vegetational composition. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 93: 332-351. 1966.-Salvia leutcophylla, Artemisia californica, and other aromatic shrubs of Southern California contain phytotoxic terpenes which volatilize aild inhibit the establishment of seedlings of a wide variety of plants at some distance from the shrubs. Similarly, Adenosterna fascicatlata and associated shrubs of the Californiia Chaparral produce water-soluble toxins which restrict herbs from the shrub stainds. These phenomena strongly indicate that allelopathy is an important inifluence in the operation of ecological processes and that this factor must be included in any acceptable model of community dynamics. The deterioration of old Salvia stands, apparently by auto-initoxication, suggests that allelopathy could be a significant factor in plant succession in many kinds of vegetation. It is hypothesized that most phytotoxins originate in planits as metabolic by-products whose role is primarily excretory and only secondarily inhibition of neighboring competitors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
