Chengjin Chu and Peter B. Adler. 2015. Large niche differences emerge at the recruitment stage to stabilize grassland coexistence. Ecological Monographs 85:373–392. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-1741.1

Appendix H. Matrices of interaction coefficients for the vital rate regressions.

In each table, species effects vary by column and responses vary by rows (e.g. the element of c[i, j] represents the effect of species j on species i). Intraspecific effects are shown in bold. These values correspond to the per capita interaction coefficients  of Eqns 2 (survival), 3 (growth) and 6 (recruitment). The values of interaction coefficient are all negative, as we excluded positive interactions from the vital rate models. See the section Summary of study sites and species selection in Materials and Methods for the abbreviations for species names.
