The rhizosphere is the interface between plant roots and soil where interactions among a
myriad of microorganisms and invertebrates affect biogeochemical cycling, plant growth and …

Lupines (Lupinus species; Fabaceae) are an ancient crop with great potential to be
developed further for high‐protein feed and food, cover crops, and phytoremediation. Being …

Plants are in constant contact with a community of soil biota that contains fungi ranging from
pathogenic to symbiotic. A few studies have demonstrated a critical role of chemical …

Root exudates influence the surrounding soil microbial community, and recent evidence
demonstrates the involvement of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in root secretion …

Legacy effects of plant influences on abiotic and biotic soil properties can result in priority
effects that influence the structure and composition of plant communities. To better …

Plants influence numerous soil biotic factors that can alter the performance of later growing
plants—defined as plant‐soil feedback (PSF). Here, we investigate whether PSF effects are …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 292–301 Abstract Rare species are assumed to have little impact
on community interactions and ecosystem processes. However, very few studies have …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonisation of plant roots is one of the most ancient
and widespread interactions in ecology, yet the systemic consequences for plant secondary …

Microorganisms promised to lead the bio-based revolution for a more sustainable
agriculture. Beneficial microorganisms could be a valid alternative to the use of chemical …

Root herbivory can greatly affect the performance of aboveground insects via changes in
plant chemistry. These interactions have been studied extensively in experiments where …
