DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6894
Abstract: Abstract Exotic plant species can evolve adaptations to environmental conditions in the exotic range. Furthermore, soil biota can foster exotic spread in the absence of negative soil pathogen–plant interactions or because of increased positive soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2145
Abstract: Understanding why some species are rare while others are common remains a central and fascinating question in ecology. Recently, interactions with soil organisms have been shown to affect local abundances of plant species within communities,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2344
Abstract: Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) influence plant competition via direct interactions with pathogens and mutualists or indirectly via apparent competition/mutualisms (i.e., spillover to co-occurring plants) and soil legacy effects. It is currently unknown how intraspecific variation in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04762-1
Abstract: The effects of whole soil biotic communities on plants is a result of positive and negative interactions from a complex suite of mutualists and pathogens. However, few experiments have evaluated the composite effects of whole… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-021-04967-0
Abstract: The positive effects of spatial heterogeneity in soil nutrients on plant performance have been well documented, but whether such effects depend on the presence of soil biota or the substrate type in which the heterogeneity… read more here.

Soil biota from newly established orchards are more beneficial to early growth of cherry trees than biota from older orchards

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2020.103658
Abstract: Abstract Growth of young fruit trees replanted into old orchard soil is often poor relative to growth in soil that has not previously been planted with fruit trees. There is evidence that a consortium of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106880
Abstract: Abstract The restoration of Nardus grasslands is often hampered by high bioavailability of soil phosphorus and disturbed soil communities. In order to better understand these bottlenecks, we studied Nardus grassland species grown together in communities… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2021.115191
Abstract: Abstract Interactions with soil microbes can strongly affect plant growth and defense against aboveground herbivores. Plant species often accumulate specific soil pathogens in their rhizosphere, leading to reduced growth of plants in soils originating from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tplants.2018.09.007
Abstract: 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 stability is less clear. Here, we introduce a framework for… read more here.
