• Machine learning and artificial intelligence to aid climate change research and preparedness (2019, background): “A potentially important process missing from ESMs is the release of plant secondary metabolites into soils and subsequent changes in litter decomposition and nutrient recycling (Chomel et al 2016).”
• Why are plant–soil feedbacks so unpredictable, and what to do about it? (2018, background): “This makes the litter unattractive to saprotrophic microbes and soil fauna (Chomel et al., 2016) and reduces positive PSF effects via the plant–litter feedback pathway.”
• Plant Defense Chemicals against Insect Pests (2020, background): “To date, there are more than 10,000 known alkaloids [51].”
