  abstract = {{B}iotic interactions can shape phylogenetic community structure ({PCS}). {H}owever, we do not know how the asymmetric effects of foundation species on communities extend to effects on {PCS}. {W}e assessed {PCS} of alpine plant communities around the world, both within cushion plant foundation species and adjacent open ground, and compared the effects of foundation species and climate on alpha (within-microsite), beta (between open and cushion) and gamma (open and cushion combined) {PCS}. {I}n the open, alpha {PCS} shifted from highly related to distantly related with increasing potential productivity. {H}owever, we found no relationship between gamma {PCS} and climate, due to divergence in phylogenetic composition between cushion and open sub-communities in severe environments, as demonstrated by increasing phylo-beta diversity. {T}hus, foundation species functioned as micro-refugia by facilitating less stress-tolerant lineages in severe environments, erasing a global productivity phylogenetic diversity relationship that would go undetected without accounting for this important biotic interaction.},
