▪ Abstract Feedback between plants and the soil is frequently invoked on the basis of
evidence of mutual effects. Feedback can operate through pathways involving soil physical …

Soils are the product of the activities of plants, which supply organic matter and play a
pivotal role in weathering rocks and minerals. Many plant species have a distinct ecological …

The existence of stabilizing feedbacks within Earth's climate system is generally thought to
