Morphological traits and density of foundation species modulate a facilitation cascade in Australian mangroves

Facilitation cascades are critical to the maintenance of biodiversity in a variety of habitats. Through a series of two experiments, we examined how the morphological traits and density of interacting foundation species influence the establishment and persistence of a facilitation cascade in tempera...
