DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;Juan C. Alvarez-Yepiz PhD Student and Fulbright Fellw\, 
 Department of Environmental and Forest Biology\, SUNY-ESF Plants helping p
 lants:The story of survival of a rare cycad in northwestern Mexico Plant s
 pecies interact and compete for space\, light and soil nutrients. However\
 , recent studies have known that plants also help each other through a pro
 cess known as facilitation. This type of positive plant-plant interaction 
 occurs when one species facilitates the establishment and survival of anot
 her species under its canopy by ameliorating extreme microclimatic conditi
 ons or increasing nutrient availability. Alvarez-Yepiz is investigating fa
 cilitation of a rare cycad by more modern plants in northwestern Mexico. T
 he results of this study will highlight the potential of facilitation for 
 the conservation of ancient plant species of high evolutionary\, ecologica
 l and ornamental value.
