Niche differentiation in savannas : exploring competition-based hypotheses for inter-life form coexistence
Competition-based models predict that coexistence of trees and grasses in savannas may be possible if trees and grasses occupy different niches when exploiting limited resources such as water and nutrients. I investigated two competition-based models, each of them considering a different axis for ni...
