A facilitation cascade is a sequence of ecological interactions that occur when a species benefits a second species that in turn has a positive effect on a third species. [1] These facilitative interactions can take the form of amelioration of environmental stress and/or provision of refuge from predation .
A habitat cascade is a common type of a facilitation cascade. [ clarification needed ] [ 1 ] where “indirect positive effects on focal organisms are mediated by successive formation or modification of biogenic habitat ”.
Ecological facilitation or probiosis describes species interactions that benefit at least one of the participants and cause harm to neither. [1] Facilitations can be categorized as mutualisms , in which both species benefit, or commensalisms , in which one species benefits and the other is unaffected.

In the same way that a trophic cascade can occur, it is expected that 'interaction cascades' take place. Thus, it should be possible to construct 'effect' networks which parallel in many ways the energy or matter networks common in the literature.
Facilitation processes cause the reproductive success of the parasite to decrease with lower worm burden. Thus, control measures that reduce parasite burden will automatically reduce per-capita reproductive success and increase the likelihood of elimination when facilitation processes predominate.
A 2018 study by Borst et al.. tested the general hypothesis that foundation species – spatially dominant habitat-structuring organisms [8] [9] [10] – modify food webs by enhancing their size as indicated by species number, and their complexity as indicated by link density, via facilitation of species, regardless of ecosystem type (see ...
Facilitation may refer to: . Facilitation (organisational), the designing and running of successful meetings and workshops in organizational settings Ecological facilitation, the process by which an organism profits from the presence of another, such as nurse plants that provide shade for new seedlings or saplings (e.g. using an orange tree to provide shade for a newly planted coffee plant)
