• Janzen-Connell Hypothesis
  • Robert Bagchi and colleagues carried the mechanism into a manipulative community-scale field experiment in a Belizean rainforest (Nature, 2014)

    This sourceBagchi and colleagues' Belize field experiment, which sprayed replicated rainforest plots with fungicide or insecticide and found that suppressing fungal pathogens reduced seedling diversity and shifted community composition.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
