Why are plant–soil feedbacks so unpredictable, and what to do about it?
The study of feedbacks between plants and soils (plant–soil feedbacks; PSFs) is receiving
increased attention. However, PSFs have been mostly studied in isolation of abiotic and …

Disturbance alters the forest soil microbiome
Billions of microorganisms perform critical below‐ground functions in all terrestrial
ecosystems. While largely invisible to the naked eye, they support all higher lifeforms, form …

Direct and indirect effects of fire on microbial communities in a pyrodiverse dry‐sclerophyll forest
Fire is one of the predominant drivers of the structural and functional dynamics of forest
ecosystems. In recent years, novel fire regimes have posed a major challenge to the …

Land use is a determinant of plant pathogen alpha‐but not beta‐diversity
Little is known about the diversity patterns of plant pathogens and how they change with
land use at a broad scale. We employed DNA metabarcoding to describe the diversity and …

Do reverse Janzen-Connell effects reduce species diversity?
Host-specific natural enemies limit the abundance of common species. This can increase
host community diversity, since no single species dominates, and is known as the 'Janzen …
