Feedback between plants and soil microbial communities can be a powerful driver of
vegetation dynamics. Plants elicit changes in the soil microbiome that either promote or …

Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

Many recent studies have demonstrated that non-pathogenic fungi within plant microbiomes,
ie, endophytes (“endo”= within,“phyte”= plant), can significantly modify the expression of …

We present strong evidence that pathogens play a critical role in structuring plant
communities and maintaining plant diversity. Pathogens mediate plant species coexistence …

High biodiversity aboveground tends to increase the stability of ecosystem functioning when
faced with a changing environment. However, whether and how soil biota affect ecosystem …

Feedbacks between plants and soil microbial communities play an important role in
vegetation dynamics, but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Here, we show …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is widely recognised as a driver of plant community composition,
but understanding of its response to drought remains in its infancy. Here, we provide a …

This study assessed Aloe vera gel (AV) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)
treatments on weight loss, respiration rate, color, firmness, soluble solids content (SSC) …

Historically, many biologists assumed that evolution and ecology acted independently
because evolution occurred over distances too great to influence most ecological patterns …
