In agricultural and natural systems researchers have demonstrated large effects of plant–soil
feedback (PSF) on plant growth. However, the concepts and approaches used in these two …

Plant–soil feedbacks is becoming an important concept for explaining vegetation dynamics,
the invasiveness of introduced exotic species in new habitats and how terrestrial …

There is consensus that plant species richness enhances plant productivity within natural
grasslands, but the underlying drivers remain debated. Recently, differential accumulation of …

The spatially heterogeneous distribution of soil nutrients is ubiquitous in terrestrial
ecosystems and has been shown to promote the performance of plant communities …

The relationship between plant diversity and productivity in grasslands could depend, partly,
on how diversity affects vertical distributions of root biomass in soil; yet, no prior study has …

Ecologists are increasingly interested in predicting how intraspecific variation and changing
trait values impact species interactions and community composition. For many traits, much of …

Plants compete with neighbouring vegetation for limited resources. In competition for light,
plants adjust their architecture to bring the leaves higher in the vegetation where more light …

Soil legacy effects are commonly highlighted as drivers of plant community dynamics and
species co‐existence. However, experimental evidence for soil legacy effects of conditioning …
