Sustaining diversity in trait-based models of phytoplankton communities

Sustaining diversity in trait-based models of phytoplankton communities

It is well-established that when equilibrium is attained for two species competing for the same limiting resource in a stable, uniform environment, one species will eliminate the other due to competitive exclusion. While competitive exclusion is observed in laboratory experiments and ecological mode...
