Soil microbial communities in cucumber monoculture and rotation systems and their feedback effects on cucumber seedling growth (2017, background): “intensity can decrease these antagonistic microbial communities while increasing plant diversity can promote them (Garbeva et al. 2004; Latz et al. 2012).”
Probiotic Pseudomonas communities enhance plant growth and nutrient assimilation via diversity-mediated ecosystem functioning (2017, unknown): “We used both backward elimination starting with the full model and a forward-selection model (from simple to full model) to avoid selecting a local AIC minimum (Latz et al., 2012).”
Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes (2018, background): “In a previous study, the prnD gene abundance increased in the presence of grasses, but the legume species tended to decrease the DAPG and PRN producer abundance (Latz et al. 2012).”
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, background): “Latz et al. (2012) found that greater plant diversity decreased the incidence of soil-borne pathogens by changing the community composition of bacteria that were antagonistic to the pathogens.”
Do soil‐borne fungal pathogens mediate plant diversity–productivity relationships? Evidence and future opportunities (2020, background): “…or collectively (Raaijmakers, Paulitz, Steinberg, Alabouvette, & Moënne-Loccoz, 2009), cause negative plant–soil feedback include plant–parasitic nematodes (van der Putten & van der Stoel, 1997), soil-borne pathogenic fungi (Termorshuizen, 2014), protozoa and bacteria (Latz et al., 2012).”
Bacterial endophytes in agricultural crops and their role in stress tolerance: a review (2015, background): “, 2009), as well as the use of practices that lead to decline in soil and endophytic microbial populations and a reduced number and abundance of species antagonistic to the human pathogens (Latz et al., 2012).”
Next-Generation Bio-Products Sowing the Seeds of Success for Sustainable Agriculture (2013, background): “Moreover, natural habitats have a low number of pathogens, so the general rule of diversity versus pathogenicity would suggest a higher rate of biocontrol and plant growth promotion agents in such environments [25].”
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in a 15-year grassland experiment: Patterns, mechanisms, and open questions (2017, background): “Belowground, there are higher densities and activities of biocontrol bacteria in the soil of diverse plant communities, protecting plants against soil-borne pathogens (Latz et al. 2012).”
