Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]we risk imposing on nature the very stories we like to hear. [...]all ecological processes take time; therefore, changes in species interactions should depend on the length of the difference in arrival times, which can determine their relative sizes or the degree of habitat modification (Rudolf 2019). Neglecting the temporal decay of microbial legacies in these systems can lead to incorrect predictions of plant competitive outcomes or an overestimation of microbial impact (Ke et al. 2021). [...]while the common two-phased design aims for generality, it is crucial to consider the natural history of different systems when extrapolating experimental results to a natural context (Travis 2020). Because vegetation-induced temperature, humidity, and vapor pressure deficit changes are ubiquitous and inevitable, I think it is important to reimagine a world where all other types of interactions (including competition) are nested within these constructed microclimates.
