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 …

The primary producers and processes of matter and energy flow, reflected by the soil
enzyme activity, are the basics of all ecosystem functioning processes. This paper reviews …

When plants establish in novel environments, they can modify soil microbial community
structure and functional properties in ways that enhance their own success. Although soil …

Abstract Knowledge about biotic (plant species diversity, biomass) and/or abiotic
(physicochemical substrate parameters) factors that determine enzyme activity and …

According to the insurance hypothesis, more diverse plant communities are more likely to be
resistant to drought. Whilst many experiments have been carried out to determine the effects …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of reclaimed scenarios on soil enzyme
activities and microbial community in a reclaimed surface coal mine on the Northwest Loess …

Ecological restoration of mine tailings have impact on soil physiochemical properties and
microbial communities. The surface soil has been a primary concern in the past decades …

Variation in the relative abundance of species is a ubiquitous feature of ecological
communities. Understanding the link between the relative abundance of a species and its …

Plant–microbial relations have not yet been fully disclosed in natural or seminatural
ecosystems, nor in novel ecosystems developing spontaneously on post-coal mine heaps …

The establishment of living mulches in organic orchards could potentially improve the
orchard biodiversity and, when specific plant species are selected, provide additional eco …
