Figure 5
Effect of varying initial densities (2 and 20 individuals m−2) of both species on the stochastic population growth rate under different climatic conditions and when recruitment is increased tenfold. Open symbols represent simulations where the interaction between H. squamatum and L. subulatum was null, whereas filled symbols represent simulations where the interaction was considered. Stable population growth rate (λ = 1) is marked with a dashed horizontal line in all plots. The letters A and B in the X axis indicate blocks. See Supplementary Table S10 for exact values of climatic variables.
