From: A realized facilitation cascade mediated by biological soil crusts in a sagebrush steppe community
Aboveground biomass of Festuca idahoensis experimentally planted for two years under Artemisia tridentata, in the open matrix around Artemisia (without biocrusts), where Artemisia was experimentally removed, and in the open (without biocrusts) with 30% artificial shade provided. Boxplots represent the interquartile range and median, and points represent outliers, and the dashed lines indicate means. Shared letters indicate no statistical difference among treatments and dashed lines show the means.
