Ecologists have argued about the hypothesis ever since Brown University ecologist Mark Bertness co-proposed it in 1994;
Bertness says a large new global meta-analysis he co-authored in Ecology Letters definitively shows that it is true.
Nearly two decades later with so much evidence now assembled Bertness said ecologists should feel confident enough in the Stress Gradient Hypothesis to employ it as a rule of thumb.
In other words with nature under stress Bertness hopes that He's efforts to pull together the available data will lead ecologists to pull together
