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).”
Mycorrhizal feedbacks generate positive frequency dependence accelerating grassland succession (2018, background): “Here, we show that inoculation with late successional soil symbionts can facilitate grassland succession by promoting late successional plant species survival and growth, as others have shown (Middleton & Bever, 2012; Middleton et al., 2015).”
Local soil, but not commercial AMF inoculum, increases native and non‐native grass growth at a mine restoration site (2016, background): “AMF are also known to influence plant community diversity, competition, and succession in complex ways (van der Heijden et al. 1998; Wagg et al. 2011; Middleton & Bever 2012).”
Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “For example, Middleton and Bever (2012) experimented with early, mid, and late successional plant species planted near to or far from nurse plants that had received inoculation with native soil biota or not.”
Plant‐soil feedbacks as drivers of succession: evidence from remnant and restored tallgrass prairies (2015, background): “…early successional fields appear to inhibit early-successional plant species, whereas soils from late successional fields may promote late-successional plants, suggesting that soil communities may change over time to favor late successional species (Kardol et al. 2006, Middleton and Bever 2012).”
