Algal coexistence created jointly by neutral competitor and asymmetrical competitors in shallow aquatic ecosystems by Haoping Wu, Yi You, Lihong Xue, Beibei Hao

“…However, neutral theory proposes that species diversity is determined by ecological drift rather than differences in competitive abilities. To clarify which mechanism primarily determines algal coexistence in shallow aquatic ecosystems, we set up a controlled pairwise competition experiment to investigate the response of multiple algal assemblages to changes in initial algal life form under different nutrient loading scenarios. …”
