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 …

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 …

Although precipitation patterns have long been known to shape plant distributions, the effect
of changing climate on the interactions of species and therefore community composition is …

Growing evidence shows that soil microbes affect plant coexistence in a variety of systems.
However, since these systems vary in the impacts microbes have on plants and in the ways …

Mycorrhizal fungi are essential to the establishment of the vast majority of plant species but
are often conceptualized with contradictory roles in plant community assembly. On the one …

Soil microorganisms play a major role in shaping plant diversity, not only through their direct
effects as pathogens, mutualists, and decomposers, but also by altering the outcome of plant …

Plant–soil feedbacks (PSF) and functional traits are two active but not well theoretically
integrated areas of research. However, PSF and traits are both affected by life‐history …

Invasive plants can alter soil microbial communities and generate positive plant–soil
feedbacks that facilitate their performance, but the magnitude and direction of feedbacks …

We discuss which plant species are likely to become winners, that is achieve the highest
global abundance, in changing landscapes, and whether plant‐associated microbes play a …

Microbiomes have profound effects on host fitness, yet we struggle to understand the
implications for host ecology. Microbiome influence on host ecology has been investigated …
