Ambient
Intraspecific competition was high for dominant, subdominant, and moderate species groups in CTL plots, indicating negative frequency dependence under ambient conditions (Table S2, Fig S8). There was also a relatively high competitive effect of moderate species on dominant species, while competition between dominant and subdominant and moderate and subdominant species was relatively low, indicating niche partitioning between these groups (Table S2, Fig S8). Rare species had neutral intraspecific and interspecific competition in as is expected due to low abundances (Table S2, Fig S8).
