The Role of Plant Litter in Driving Plant-Soil Feedbacks (2019, background): “As a result, secondary metabolites can contribute to litter-mediated PSFs via impeding nutrient cycling (Wardle et al., 2012).”
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges (2013, background): “Handley’s (1954) work on Calluna vulgaris in the UK and work on Swedish islands reported by Wardle et al. (2012) shows that plant species can impede rates of N mineralization by producing litter with high levels of polyphenols, which adversely affects earlier-successional plant species…”
Bacterial communities in soil mimic patterns of vegetative succession and ecosystem climax but are resilient to change between seasons (2013, background): “It is not well-known, however, how these processes of long-term ecosystem development, vegetative succession, and pedogenesis are related to changes in soil microbial communities (Wardle et al., 2012).”
Soil networks become more connected and take up more carbon as nature restoration progresses (2017, unknown): “Second, increased tightening could be due to declined nutrient availability in the soil along the successional gradient 19,29-30 , which may enhance the necessity of stronger cooperative and trophic interactions between functional groups of soil biota.”
