It is increasingly acknowledged that plant–soil feedbacks may play an important role in
driving the composition of plant communities and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems …

Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

Commercial perennial agriculture is prone to declining productivity due to negative plant-soil
feedback. An alternative to costly and environmentally harmful conventional treatment such …

At the global scale, vineyards are usually managed intensively to optimize wine production
without considering possible negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) …

Bacterial communities associated with plant roots play an important role in the suppression
of soil-borne pathogens, and multispecies probiotic consortia may enhance disease …

Reliance on ecosystem services instead of synthetic, non‐renewable inputs is increasingly
seen as key to achieving food security in an environmentally sustainable way. This process …

Environmental perturbations such as agricultural intensification may alter soil biodiversity in
a manner that affects ecosystem functioning, but links are not well quantified. With this …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are keystone symbionts of agricultural soils but
agricultural intensification has negatively impacted AMF communities. Increasing crop …

Intercropping is both a well-established and yet novel agricultural practice, depending on
one's perspective. Such perspectives are principally governed by geographic location and …
