英文摘要 | Aim and Location Positive interactions influence the assembly of plant communities globally, particularly in stressful environments such as deserts. However, few studies have measured the intensity and relative importance of positive interactions involving native and invasive species along aridity gradients. These measures are essential for predicting how dryland communities will respond to biological invasions and environmental change. Here, we measured the intensity and importance of positive associations formed between native shrubs and the annual plant community, which included highly invasiveBromus madritensisssp.rubens(B. rubens) and native neighbours, along an aridity gradient across the Mojave and San Joaquin Deserts. Methods Along the gradient, we sampled metrics of abundance and performance for invasiveB. rubens, native annual species (pooled), exotic annual species (pooled) and all annual species (pooled) during peak flowering at 120 pairs of shrub and open microsites. Results Across the gradient,B. rubensoccurred at far greater abundance, cover, biomass and fitness near shrubs than away from shrubs. WhenLarrea tridentatawas the focal shrub, positive effects onB. rubensabundance and cover were least intense at the most arid sites under the shortest shrubs. The native annual community occurred at greater abundance, cover and species richnessawayfrom shrubs, regardless of relative aridity or shrub traits. Community-level species richness was greatest away from shrubs, but exotic species richness was similar in shrub and open microsites. Main conclusions Across two deserts,B. rubensformed intense and important positive associations with native shrubs that consistently improved its abundance, cover, biomass and fitness, and for abundance and cover, the intensity ofB. rubens-L. tridentataassociations depended upon relative aridity and shrub height. By strongly facilitating a dominant invader but not native- or community-level biodiversity, native shrubs provided the wrong kind of help to the annual plant community. |
