TL;DR: It is demonstrated that primary producers, herbivorous insects and microbial decomposers seem to be particularly important drivers of ecosystem functioning, as shown by the strong and frequent positive associations of their richness or abundance with multiple ecosystem services.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between the diversity of rare and common species and multifunctionality indices derived from 14 ecosystem functions on 150 grasslands across a land-use intensity (LUI) gradient.

TL;DR: This work grew three grass species that differ in local abundance in grassland communities simultaneously in the greenhouse and field on field-collected soils either previously conditioned by these species or by the general grassland community to compare plant-soil feedbacks in natural and greenhouse conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared five different studies that measured PSF values in both greenhouse and field conditions and found that greenhouse-measured PSF was larger than and not positively correlated with field measured PSFs.

TL;DR: It is suggested that soil structure determines the outcome of PSF mediated by SRL, and plants with low SRL could be more limited by PSF on disintegrated soils of early successional stages.
