Competitive Hierarchies in Herbaceous Plant Communities
Abstract
Using data from eight published competition experiments with diallel designs, and a new method of analyzing such data, we present evidence that competition among herbaceous plants has two general properties: pairwise interactions are predominantly asymmetric, and competitive hierarchies exist, i.e. competitive networks are primarily transitive. This empirical evidence is compared with what is known about the mechanisms of plant competition. Finally we present an hypothesis to explain some of the variability in the degree to which competitive networks display asymmetry and transitivity, and explore some of the consequences of this in terms of developing a predictive theory of plant competition.

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.
