Meng-Qiu Niu et al. constructed #Plant_plantCo_occurrenceNetworks within #CushionMicrohabitats at both regional and local scales in the Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains, focusing on the influences of multiple #CushionPlants in shaping plant–plant network structures.

💻 The influences of multiple #CushionPlants in shaping plant–plant network structures

Results:
1️⃣ Cushion plants significantly influence the network structures.
2️⃣ Cushion plants⬆️, network complexity⬆️.
3️⃣ The loss of cushion plants would likely trigger cascading extinctions of associated non-cushion plants.
