Decoupling of plant and microbial communities following long-term removal of an invasive grass

Journal Article Restoration Ecology · January 1, 2025 Ecosystem function can be shaped by the relationship between plant and soil microbial communities. When invasive plants disrupt these plant–soil feedbacks, they can leave soil legacy effects that persist even after removal. However, such legacy effects var ... Full text Cite

Mycorrhizal Symbioses Enhance Competitive Weed Growth in Biochar and Nutrient-Amended Soils

Journal Article Frontiers in Agronomy · September 1, 2021 Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) is a highly competitive weed in agroecosystems that is well-studied for its efficient nitrogen (N) acquisition, yet research on its phosphorus (P) uptake is lacking. One pathway may be through symbioses with arbuscular myc ... Full text Open Access Cite

Ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity interacts with soil nutrients to predict plant growth despite weak plant-soil feedbacks

Journal Article Plant and Soil · August 1, 2020 Background and aims: Plant-soil feedbacks are the result of multiple abiotic and biotic mechanisms. However, few studies have addressed how feedbacks vary based on abiotic context or attempted to identify microbiota responsible for feedbacks. We investigat ... Full text Open Access Cite
