Facilitation Cascades

Facilitation Cascade is an ecological interaction sequence in which a foundational facilitator modifies the environment to enable the establishment of a secondary facilitator, which in turn ameliorates conditions for beneficiary species, thereby propagating indirect positive effects across multiple trophic or functional levels within a community.
