The impact of climate change on soil processes depends how abiotic stressors (drought, flood, heatwave…) affect species physiology directly, but also indirectly through their interactions. A number different theoretical frameworks have been designed to conceptualize the latter. most widely used is stress gradient hypothesis, which states that facilitation should be more common in stressful environments. However, these interactions are notoriously difficult investigate soils,...
