Feedback between plants and their associated soil biota is an important driver of plant
distribution, abundance and community composition with consequences for ecosystem …

In the ecological literature, a 'home-field advantage'(HFA) describes the phenomenon where
plant litters are broken down more quickly in their native versus a foreign environment due to …

Soil biota influence plant performance through plant-soil feedback, but it is unclear whether
the strength of such feedback depends on plant traits and whether plant-soil feedback drives …

Question Plant–soil feedback (PSF) has emerged as a ubiquitous phenomenon and a
potentially important predictor of plant community structure and dynamics. However, the …

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

In natural systems, different plant species have been shown to modulate specific nitrogen
(N) cycling processes so as to meet their N demand, thereby potentially influencing their …

There is evidence that the distribution of ecotypes of plants and their symbiotic arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and other associated soil biota may be structured by the availability …

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 …

The study of interactions and feedbacks between plants and soils is a rapidly expanding
research area, and a primary tool used in this field is to perform glasshouse experiments …
