The giant columnar cactus Neobuxbaumia tetetzo (Coulter) Backeberg is the dominant species of a vegetation type locally called "tetechera" that occupies ca. 400 km² in the Tehuacán Valley. ... Elasticity analysis showed that survivorship was the most important life-history parameter to the finite rate of increase. Because survivorship depends on the presence of nurse plants, our results emphasise the importance of positive interactions on the population dynamics of long-lived columnar cacti. 2, record 2, English, - companion%20plant

De bons compagnons pour vos légumes peuvent les protéger des attaques d’insectes, favoriser leur croissance et même améliorer leur goût. [...] De plus, l'ajout de compagnons fleurs ou fines herbes améliore nettement l'allure d’un jardin [...] Le compagnonnage est une méthode biologique qui a pour but d’associer des plantes entre elles. Ces associations permettent de brouiller les systèmes de repérage des insectes nuisibles. C'est par la combinaison de légumes avec des fines herbes ou des fleurs, qu'il est possible de camoufler l'odeur d’une plante et d’en éloigner ses ennemis potentiels. Prenons, pour exemple, la mouche de la carotte. Cette dernière s’attaque à la carotte en y pondant des œufs(futures larves). En alternant les rangs de carottes avec ceux d’oignons, la mouche de la carotte pourra difficilement repérer sa proie «la carotte». L'oignon et la carotte sont donc des plantes amies. [...] Les fines herbes sont d’excellentes plantes compagnes. Plutôt que de les confiner dans un coin du jardin, il vaut mieux les disperser parmi les légumes. 2, record 2, French, - plante%20compagne

Les plantes compagnes. Comme dans les rapports humains, il existe une sociologie des plantes qui s’aiment ou qui se repoussent.

Companion planting is the process of planting specific plants together so a certain quality of one plant may be of benefit to another. The smell of a plant's foliage or the taste of a plant may be all that is necessary to discourage some insects. Some plants make great companions in that they encourage insects for pollination, provide shelter or support, or they simply grow well together because their roots are at different levels. Some plants are great companions as they may "disguise" the legginess of other plants or they help cool the soil for plants that require cool roots. 2, record 4, English, - companion%20planting
