Plant Facilitation

Plant Facilitation is a type of positive biotic interaction in plant ecology in which the presence or activity of one plant species enhances the survival, growth, reproduction, or establishment of another plant species by ameliorating local abiotic or biotic conditions, typically without an observable net cost to the facilitating species.
