How belowground interactions contribute to the coexistence of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal species in severely phosphorus-impoverished hyperdiverse …
Background Mycorrhizal strategies are very effective in enhancing plant acquisition of poorly-
mobile nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) from infertile soil. However, on very old and …

Soil-plant-atmosphere interactions: structure, function, and predictive scaling for climate change mitigation
Background It is well established that the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems depends on
biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks occurring at the soil-plant-atmosphere (SPA) …

Plant-soil feedback and the maintenance of diversity in Mediterranean-climate shrublands
Soil biota influence plant performance through plant-soil feedback, but it is unclear whether
the strength of such feedback depends on plant traits and whether plant-soil feedback drives …

The phosphorus‐rich signature of fire in the soil–plant system: a global meta‐analysis
The biogeochemical and stoichiometric signature of vegetation fire may influence post‐fire
ecosystem characteristics and the evolution of plant 'fire traits'. Phosphorus (P), a potentially …

Decoupled responses of above‐and below‐ground stability of productivity to nitrogen addition at the local and larger spatial scale
Temporal stability of net primary productivity (NPP) is important for predicting the reliable
provisioning of ecosystem services under global changes. Although nitrogen (N) addition is …

Greater root phosphatase activity in nitrogen‐fixing rhizobial but not actinorhizal plants with declining phosphorus availability
The abundance of nitrogen (N)‐fixing plants in ecosystems where phosphorus (P) limits
plant productivity poses a paradox because N fixation entails a high P cost. One explanation …

A shift from phenol to silica‐based leaf defences during long‐term soil and ecosystem development
The resource availability hypothesis predicts that plants adapted to infertile soils have high
levels of anti‐herbivore leaf defences. This hypothesis has been mostly explored for …
