Plant trait effects on soil organisms and functions
N Eisenhauer, JR Powell - Pedobiologia, 2017 - Elsevier
Global change alters the composition and functioning of ecosystems by creating novel
environmental conditions and thereby selecting for specific traits of organisms. Thus, trait …

A trait‐based framework linking the soil metabolome to plant–soil feedbacks
By modifying the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil, plants create soil legacies that can
affect vegetation dynamics through plant–soil feedbacks (PSF). PSF are generally attributed …

Soil multifunctionality and drought resistance are determined by plant structural traits in restoring grassland
It is increasingly recognized that belowground responses to vegetation change are closely
linked to plant functional traits. However, our understanding is limited concerning the relative …
