These reviews however were qualitative because only evaluated aspects such as species identity of cacti and nurse plants, probable explanatory causes of their association, and location of study sites. To our knowledge, there are no quantitative reviews that have evaluated the association between cacti and nurse plants for different subfamilies, tribes, and growth forms of cacti and nurse plants, and different plant communities and soil properties. To address these issues, we performed a quantitative review of the studies on the association between cacti and nurse plants. The studies were searched in the ISI Web of Knowledge from 1986 to 2021. Data obtained from studies were analyzed with the relative risk ratio and ratio of medians. Most studies on the association between cacti and nurse plants were performed mainly in Mexico and the USA. Globose, cylindrical, and columnar cacti of the subfamily Cactoideae, and tribes Cacteae, Cereeae, and Echinocereeae were associated to nurse plants of Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Fabaceae. However, other subfamilies (Opuntioideae) and tribes (Notocacteae) of cacti, and families (Asparagaceae) of nurse plants were not associated. Nurse plants ameliorated temperature, moisture, and nitrogen of soil. The association between cacti and nurse plants occurred in desert shrubland and tropical dry forest. Further studies are needed on the association between cacti and nurse plants that consider more cactus subfamilies and tribes in countries with high cactus diversity in Central and South America.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen La asociación entre cactáceas y plantas nodriza ha sido revisada por diferentes autores. Sin embargo, estas revisiones fueron cualitativas porque solo evaluaron las especies de cactáceas y plantas nodriza, las probables causas de su asociación y los sitios de estudio. Hasta donde sabemos, no existen revisiones cuantitativas que hayan evaluado la asociación entre cactáceas y plantas nodriza para distintas subfamilias, tribus y formas de crecimiento de cactáceas y plantas nodriza, y distintas comunidades de plantas y propiedades del suelo. Para abordar estos aspectos, realizamos una revisión cuantitativa de los estudios sobre la asociación entre cactáceas y plantas nodriza. Los estudios fueron buscados en el ISI Web of Knowledge de 1986 a 2021. Los datos fueron analizados con la razón de riesgo relativo y la razón de medianas. Los estudios sobre la asociación entre cactáceas y plantas nodriza fueron realizados en México y EUA. Las cactáceas globosas, cilíndricas y columnares de la subfamilia Cactoideae y las tribus Cacteae, Cereeae y Echinocereeae estuvieron asociadas a plantas nodriza de Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae y Fabaceae. Sin embargo, otras subfamilias (Opuntioideae) y tribus (Notocacteae) de cactáceas, y familias (Asparagaceae) de plantas nodriza no estuvieron asociadas. Las plantas nodriza mejoraron la temperatura, humedad y nitrógeno del suelo. La asociación entre cactáceas y plantas nodriza ocurrió en matorral desértico y selva baja caducifolia. Es necesario realizar estudios adicionales sobre la asociación entre cactáceas y plantas nodriza que consideren otras subfamilias y tribus de cactáceas, en países con alta diversidad de cactáceas en Centro y Sudamérica.]]></p></abstract>
