PLANT DEFENSE BELOWGROUND AND SPATIOTEMPORAL PROCESSES IN NATURAL VEGETATION (2003, background): “2), which can only occur in an environment that is maintained in a relatively constant state by, for example, mowing or grazing, or that is reset by, for example, soil disturbance (Blomqvist et al. 2000) or fire (Holah et al. 1997).”
FEEDBACK IN THE PLANT-SOIL SYSTEM (2005, background): “Mycorrhizal-plant feedbacks are complicated by other ecological processes. microbes (245), aboveground grazing, and belowground consumption of fungal biomass (246–248).”
Negative plant-soil feedback and species coexistence (2005, background): “…for different aspects of a plant’s life cycle including seed germination (Rice 1984, Li and Romane 1997), seedling survival (Packer and Clay 2000), individual growth (Miller 1996), vegetative propagation (Van der Putten et al. 1988, Blomqvist et al. 2000, Olff et al. 2000), and seed production.”
The impact of ants on mineral soil properties and processes at different spatial scales (2008, background): “Woodell and King (1991) in Blomqvist et al. (2000) who worked in the Netherlands suggested that the lower soil moisture contents that they found in ant mounds were related to increased evaporation as more pores, burrows and channels were present in mounds.”
Plant species and functional group effects on abiotic and microbial soil properties and plant–soil feedback responses in two grasslands (2006, background): “Responses of individually grown plants in pot experiments, frequently fail to match patterns observed in the field, where the performance of specific plant species depends on a number of interacting effects determining plant establishment and growth (Blomqvist et al. 2000).”
Reduced plant–soil feedback of plant species expanding their range as compared to natives (2007, background): “Escape from soil pathogens has been shown at local scales (D’Hertefeldt & Van der Putten 1998; Blomqvist et al. 2000; Olff et al. 2000; Van der Stoel & Van der Putten 2006) and at large spatial scales (Beckstead & Parker 2003; Van der Putten et al. 1993; Reinhart et al. 2003; Van der Stoel & Van…”
Soil invertebrates as ecosystem engineers: Intended and accidental effects on soil and feedback loops (2006, background): “Yellow meadow ants (Lasius flavus) respond to taller vegetation by building larger mounds with soil excavated from deeper soil layers, thereby changing the shape of the mound to optimise the collection of solar radiation (Dlussky, 1981; Blomqvist et al., 2000).”
Specific functional signature in soil macro‐invertebrate biostructures (2005, background): “Given the importance of aggregation in all soil processes, this finding may be considered a breakthrough in our quest to relate biodiversity in soil organisms, especially ecosystem engineers, and soil function (Hooper et al. 2000; Lavelle et al. 2004b).”
Ant-induced soil modification and its effect on plant below-ground biomass (2005, background): “In spite of the large body of knowledge on the effect of soil environment of ant nests on aboveground plant performance, surprisingly little information exists on its effect on plant belowground parts (e.g. Blomquist et al., 2000).”
