Multitrophic interactions below and above ground: en route to the next level (2011, background): “…on studies manipulating (sub-)communities with little or no control over the organisms that were removed or added (Masters, Brown & Gange 1993; de Deyn et al. 2003; Bezemer et al. 2005; Hol et al. 2010), or highly controlled studies with model systems that consisted of limited sets of…”
Invasive plants and their escape from root herbivory: a worldwide comparison of the root-feeding nematode communities of the dune grass Ammophila arenaria in natural and introduced ranges (2005, background): “…that soil pathogens and root herbivores play important roles in controlling plant abundance (Klironomos 2002), plant species diversity (Bever 1994; Packer and Clay 2000, 2002; De Deyn et al. 2003), and vegetation succession (Brown and Gange 1992; van der Putten et al. 1993; De Deyn et al. 2003).”
Predicting species distribution and abundance responses to climate change: why it is essential to include biotic interactions across trophic levels (2010, background): “Aboveground– belowground biotic interactions influence plant community diversity and evenness: root herbivores preferring dominant plants enhance diversity in the plant community, as they reduce interspecific competition of the dominant over the rare plants (De Deyn et al. 2003).”
A temporal approach to linking aboveground and belowground ecology. (2005, background): “There is also an increasing acceptance that plant‐soil biological community feedbacks are major structuring forces in plant communities [3,7, 8 ].”
Belowground organism activities affect plant aboveground phenotype, inducing plant tolerance to parasites (2005, background): “Recent papers have emphasized the role of multitrophic interactions in plant community composition and production (Van der Putten et al. 2001; De Deyn et al. 2003; Wardle et al. 2004).”
Accumulation of local pathogens: a new hypothesis to explain exotic plant invasions (2006, background): “Plant-soil feedbacks may drive important plant community processes, such as primary succession (Van der Putten et al. 1993), secondary succession (De Deyn et al. 2003), shifts in plant abundance (Klironomos 2002) and maintenance of plant diversity (Bever 1994, De Deyn et al. 2003).”
Diversity reduces invasibility in experimental plant communities the role of plant species (2003, background): “were identified as the key factor controlling invasibility ( Davis et al. 2000 ).”
FEEDBACK IN THE PLANT-SOIL SYSTEM (2005, background): “There is extensive evidence turn alter the quality, quantity, and timing of the C resources, which support the fauna (46, 182, 264–267), as well as affect successional and community dynamics (246).”
Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots (2009, background): “Phytophagous nematodes have been estimated to take up as much as one quarter of the net primary production of grassland vegetation (Stanton 1988), and they affect plant quality (Troelstra et al. 2001), plant diversity, and vegetation succession (De Deyn et al. 2003a).”
Plant community development is affected by nutrients and soil biota (2004, background): “…is a poor host for plant-parasitic nematodes (Wardle et al. 2003; De Deyn et al. 2004), while A. capillaris appears to be sensitive to root herbivory (De Deyn et al. 2003) also support the possible involvement of differences in tolerance to herbivory between A. capillaris and A. odoratum.”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “…feedback experiments in a restoration context suggest that restoration of a soil community may be crucial for establishing late successional plant communities (e.g., De Deyn et al. 2003, Kardol et al. 2006, Middleton and Bever 2012) although success is not always observed (Kardol et al. 2009).”
Plant–soil interactions in the expansion and native range of a poleward shifting plant species (2010, background): “…can also drive short-term vegetation dynamics (van der Putten et al., 2003), leading to both cyclic (Olff et al., 2000), as well as successional changes in plant community composition (De Deyn et al., 2003; van der Putten et al., 2003; Kardol et al., Correspondence: Roy van Grunsven, tel.”
