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 …

In agricultural and natural systems researchers have demonstrated large effects of plant–soil
feedback (PSF) on plant growth. However, the concepts and approaches used in these two …

Plant‐soil feedback (PSF) theory provides a powerful framework for understanding plant
dynamics by integrating growth assays into predictions of whether soil communities stabilise …

Soil-borne microbes affect aboveground herbivorous insects through a cascade of
molecular and chemical changes in the plant, but knowledge of these microbe–plant–insect …

Whereas the primary controls on litter decomposition are well established, we lack a
framework for predicting interspecific differences in litter decay within and across …

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 …

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 …

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

Plant–soil feedbacks contribute to vegetation dynamics by species-specific interactions
between plants and soil biota. Variation in plant–soil feedbacks can be predicted by root …

By modifying the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil, plants create soil legacies that can
affect vegetation dynamics through plant–soil feedbacks (PSF). PSF are generally attributed …
