Feedback between plants and soil microbial communities can be a powerful driver of
vegetation dynamics. Plants elicit changes in the soil microbiome that either promote or …

Feedbacks between plants and soil microbial communities play an important role in
vegetation dynamics, but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Here, we show …

Microorganisms are immense in nature and exist in every imaginable ecological niche,
performing a wide range of metabolic processes. Unfortunately, using traditional …

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) have become a commonly invoked mechanism of plant
coexistence and abundance. Yet, most PSF experiments have been performed in …

Plant–soil feedbacks (PSF) and functional traits are two active but not well theoretically
integrated areas of research. However, PSF and traits are both affected by life‐history …

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 feedback (PSF) may influence plant–insect interactions. Although plant defense
differs between shoot and root tissues, few studies have examined root‐feeding insect …

Negative plant-soil feedback (NPSF) due to the buildup of soilborne pathogens in soil is a
major obstacle in sustainable agricultural systems. Beneficial rhizosphere microfloras are …

By modifying the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil, plants create soil legacies that can
affect vegetation dynamics through plant–soil feedbacks (PSF). PSF are generally attributed …
