The future of complementarity: disentangling causes from consequences
Evidence suggests that biodiversity supports ecosystem functioning. Yet, the mechanisms
driving this relationship remain unclear. Complementarity is one common explanation for …

How context dependent are species interactions?
SA Chamberlain, JL Bronstein, JA Rudgers - Ecology letters, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The net effects of interspecific species interactions on individuals and populations vary in
both sign (−, 0,+) and magnitude (strong to weak). Interaction outcomes are context …

Relative importance of competition and plant–soil feedback, their synergy, context dependency and implications for coexistence
Plants interact simultaneously with each other and with soil biota, yet the relative importance
of competition vs. plant–soil feedback (PSF) on plant performance is poorly understood …

A meta‐analysis of context‐dependency in plant response to inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 394–407 Abstract Mycorrhizal fungi influence plant growth, local
biodiversity and ecosystem function. Effects of the symbiosis on plants span the continuum …

Interactive and cumulative effects of multiple human stressors in marine systems
Humans impact natural systems in a multitude of ways, yet the cumulative effect of multiple
stressors on ecological communities remains largely unknown. Here we synthesized 171 …

Meta‐analysis reveals complex marine biological responses to the interactive effects of ocean acidification and warming
Ocean acidification and warming are considered two of the greatest threats to marine
biodiversity, yet the combined effect of these stressors on marine organisms remains largely …

Scaling environmental change through the community‐level: A trait‐based response‐and‐effect framework for plants
Predicting ecosystem responses to global change is a major challenge in ecology. A critical
step in that challenge is to understand how changing environmental conditions influence …

Plant–soil feedbacks: a meta‐analytical review
Plants can change soil biology, chemistry and structure in ways that alter subsequent plant
growth. This process, referred to as plant–soil feedback (PSF), has been suggested to …

The role of plant interactions in the restoration of degraded ecosystems: a meta‐analysis across life‐forms and ecosystems
L Gómez‐Aparicio - Journal of Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Traditionally, techniques of plant manipulation during restoration have focused on the
reduction of competition by 'problematic'existing vegetation. However, the increasing …

The role of locally adapted mycorrhizas and rhizobacteria in plant–soil feedback systems
The plant–soil feedback (PSF) framework has become an important theory in plant ecology,
yet many ecological and evolutionary factors that influence PSF s have yet to be fully …
