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) and competition influence plant performance, community structure
and functions. However, how nutrient availability affects the interaction of PSF, sexual …

Home‐field advantage (HFA) states that litter decomposes faster in “home” than in “away”
soil, due to the specialization of decomposer organisms in decomposing litter derived from …

Relatively little is known about how plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) may affect plant growth in
field conditions where factors such as herbivory may be important. Using a potted …

Interactions among plant species and their soil biota drive plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) that
play a major role in the dynamics and diversity of plant communities. Among the different …

There is current debate on how soil sample pooling affects the measurement of plant–soil
feedbacks. Several studies have suggested that pooling soil samples among experimental …

Abstract Background and Aims Growing evidence suggests that the net effect of soil
microbes on plants depends on both abiotic and biotic conditions, but the context …

Increasing temperatures associated with climate change are shifting plant species to higher
latitudes. Soil communities could aid the plants' shift into novel areas by harbouring fewer …

The pooling of soil samples in plant–microbe interaction studies is commonly employed, but
the impact of sample handling has rarely been explored experimentally. Concerns have …

Plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) are plant-mediated changes to soil properties that ultimately
influence plant performance, and can, thus, determine plant diversity, succession, and …
