Abstract:Ecologists have explored community assembly through the framework of ecological filters, which predicts that species must overcome a series of challenges (i.e. pass through “filters”) to successfully establish in a given community. In the context of restoration, these filters (dispersal, abiotic, and biotic) can be manipulated to alter the resulting plant community by favoring native species or disadvantaging non‐native invasive species. We conducted two studies manipulating assembly filters at two California … Show more
