Background Plants condition the soil in which they grow, thereby altering the performance of
subsequent plants growing in this soil. This phenomenon, known as plant-soil feedback …

Feedback between plants and their associated soil biota is an important driver of plant
distribution, abundance and community composition with consequences for ecosystem …

Plant-soil feedbacks are shaped by microbial legacies that plants leave in the soil. We tested
the persistence of these legacies after subsequent colonization by the same or other plant …

Summary Plant–soil feedback (PSF), plant trait and functional group concepts advanced our
understanding of plant community dynamics, but how they are interlinked is poorly known …

Most studies focusing on plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) have considered direct interactions
between plants, abiotic conditions (eg, soil nutrients) and rhizosphere communities (eg …

Soil legacy effects are commonly highlighted as drivers of plant community dynamics and
species co‐existence. However, experimental evidence for soil legacy effects of conditioning …

The plant microbiome is critical to plant health and is degraded with anthropogenic
disturbance. However, the value of re‐establishing the native microbiome is rarely …

The inhibitory effect of extracellular DNA (exDNA) on the growth of conspecific individuals
was demonstrated in different kingdoms. In plants, the inhibition has been observed on root …

The riparian zone is a spatially fluctuating ecotone between terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems and has key ecological functions, due to specific geographic conditions and …

Much effort has been made to remediate the degraded mine lands that bring severe impacts
to the natural environments. However, it remains unclear what drives the recovery of …
