Microbiomes have highly important roles for ecosystem functioning and carry out key
functions that support planetary health, including nutrient cycling, climate regulation, and …

Background Plants condition the soil in which they grow, thereby altering the performance of
subsequent plants growing in this soil. This phenomenon, known as plant-soil feedback …

Microbiomes of soils and plants are linked, but how this affects microbiomes of aboveground
herbivorous insects is unknown. We first generated plant-conditioned soils in field plots, then …

Plant-sucking insects have intricate associations with a diverse array of microorganisms to
facilitate their adaptation to specific ecological niches. The midgut of phytophagous true …

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 …

Soils and their microbiomes are now recognized as key components of plant health, but how
to steer those microbiomes to obtain their beneficial functions is still unknown. Here, we …

Microorganisms are found everywhere and have critical roles in most ecosystems, but
compared to plants and animals, little is known about their temporal dynamics. Here, we …

Soil biota-plant interactions play a dominant role in terrestrial ecosystems. Through nutrient
mineralization and mutualistic or antagonistic interactions with plants soil biota can affect …

Plants allocate resources to processes related to growth and enemy defence.
Simultaneously, they interact with complex soil microbiomes that also affect plant …

Most studies on plant‐soil feedback (PSF) and plant competition measure the feedback
response at one moment only. However, PSF s and competition may both change over time …
