Abstract AimPlant–soil interactions can be major driving forces of community responses to environmental changes in terrestrial ecosystems.

linking plant-soil carbon dynamics to global consequences

C dynamics through changes in the functional types of plants, diseases, soil fauna (e.g. earthworms) and soil microbes. (De Deyn et ai. 2008). Slow-growing ...

Plant diversity drives positive microbial associations in the ... - Nature

We find that increasing plant diversity strengthens positive associations within the rhizosphere soil microbial community in relation to negative associations.
