Abstract

AbstractIdentifying niche differences and trade‐offs that contribute to species co‐existence in field studies remains a challenge (Hille Ris Lambers et al. 2012, Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics 43: 227–248). In this issue of the Journal of Vegetation Science, García‐Baquero et al. test whether plant species show spatial segregation along hydrological gradients. By demonstrating the importance of hydrological niches in structuring plant communities, they provide a mechanistic foundation for stronger tests of species co‐existence.
