Abstract
Evidence for facultative interactions were observed between Juncus effusus and other tidal marsh species. Tussocks collapse from the inside during late spring reducing shading and allowing other plant species to become more abundant in the resulting depression. The factors regulating species diversity in these tussock depressions are discussed.Suggested Citation
