Summary
1.
The stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts that the frequency of facilitative and competitive
interactions will vary inversely across abiotic stress gradients, with facilitation being more common
in conditions of high abiotic stress relative to more benign abiotic conditions. With notable
exceptions, most tests of the SGH have studied the interaction between a single pair or a few pairs
of species, and thus have evaluated shifts in the magnitude and direction of pair-wise interactions
along stress gradients, rather than shifts in the general frequency of interactions.
2.
The SGH has been supported by numerous studies in many ecosystems, has provided a crucial
foundation for studying the interplay between facilitation and competition in plant communities,
and has a high heuristic value. However, recent empirical research indicates that factors like the
variation among species and the nature of the stress gradient studied add complexity not considered
in the SGH, creating an opportunity to extend the SGH’s general conceptual framework.
