Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological linkages between aboveground and belowground biota.
David A. Wardle,David A. Wardle,Richard D. Bardgett,John N. Klironomos,Heikki Setälä,Wim H. van der Putten,Diana H. Wall +6 more
TL;DR: This work shows how aboveground and belowground components are closely interlinked at the community level, reinforced by a greater degree of specificity between plants and soil organisms than has been previously supposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycorrhizal fungal diversity determines plant biodiversity, ecosystem variability and productivity
Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,John N. Klironomos,Margot Ursic,Peter Moutoglis,R. Streitwolf-Engel,Thomas Boller,Andres Wiemken,Ian R. Sanders +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that below-ground diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is a major factor contributing to the maintenance of plant biodiversity and to ecosystem functioning, and that microbial interactions can drive ecosystem functions such as plant biodiversity, productivity and variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feedback with soil biota contributes to plant rarity and invasiveness in communities.
TL;DR: The results indicate that plants have different abilities to influence their abundance by changing the structure of their soil communities, and that this is an important regulator of plant community structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges
Wim H. van der Putten,Richard D. Bardgett,James D. Bever,T. Martijn Bezemer,Brenda B. Casper,Tadashi Fukami,Paul Kardol,John N. Klironomos,Andrew Kulmatiski,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Katherine N. Suding,Tess F. J. van de Voorde,David A. Wardle +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a plant-soil feedback model is proposed to explain succession, invasion, response to climate warming and diversity-productivity relationships in terrestrial ecosystems, and how terrestrial ecosystems respond to global land use and climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in plant response to native and exotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
TL;DR: This study suggests that, within ecosystems, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can function along a continuum from parasitism to mutualism, and that extreme responses are more common when using locally adapted plants and fungi.
