Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, background): “Certain soil microorganisms form host-specific relationships with plant groups or species (Bever, 2003), such as legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.”
Stoichiometrically Explicit Food Webs: Feedbacks between Resource Supply, Elemental Constraints, and Species Diversity (2009, background): “Stoichiometry should enhance insight into positive and negative feedback mechanisms inherent in plant-soil-fungal interactions that may maintain plant diversity (Bever 2003, Hoeksema & Schwartz 2003, Schwartz & Hoeksema 1998, Umbanhower & McCann 2005).”

Native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities differentially influence the seedling performance of rare and common Pulsatilla species (2004, positive): “Interactions between plants and microbes have a significant impact on plant performance ( Bever 2003 ).”
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges (2013, background): “direct, intraspecific, plant–soil feedback effects are negative (Bever 2003; Kulmatiski et al. 2008; Petermann et al. 2008).”
Inoculation with a Native Soil Community Advances Succession in a Grassland Restoration (2012, background): “The soil community can play a critical role in structuring both native and restored plant communities (Bever 2003; Van der Heijden et al. 2008; Bever et al. 2010).”
Alien plants associate with widespread generalist arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal taxa: evidence from a continental‐scale study using massively parallel 454 sequencing (2011, background): “As AM fungal taxa exhibit host-specific growth responses (Helgason et al., 2002; Bever, 2003) and invoke differential growth responses in host-plant species (Klironomos, 2003; Moora et al., 2004a,b), there is some potential for new combinations of alien species and resident AM fungi to yield strong…”
Plant species traits and capacity for resource reduction predict yield and abundance under competition in nitrogen‐limited grassland (2006, background): “2001); and interactions mediated by herbivores, pathogens or symbiotic fungi may all influence species abundance (Carson & Root 2000; Packer & Clay 2000; Klironomos 2002; Bever 2003).”
Beyond plant–soil feedbacks: mechanisms driving plant community shifts due to land‐use legacies in post‐agricultural forests (2016, neutral): “understorey dynamics has scarcely been considered (Bever 2003; Smith & Reynolds 2015).”
Complex plant–soil interactions enhance plant species diversity by delaying community convergence (2013, background): “These effects, known as plant– soil feedbacks (Bever 2003; Ehrenfeld, Ravit & Elgersma 2005; Kulmatiski et al. 2008), can be positive or negative, depending on the net influence of mutualistic organisms such as mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria and antago-*Correspondence author.”

Effects of plant species richness and evenness on soil microbial community diversity and function (2010, background): “…soil community as there are many mechanisms through which the soil microbial community can influence plant community structure (e.g. Bardgett 2005; Bever 2003; Bezemer et al. 2006; van der Heijden et al. 1998, 2008), and associations between plant and microbial community structures can arise…”
Soils as agents of selection: feedbacks between plants and soils alter seedling survival and performance (2010, background): “as mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are commonly found (Bever 2003).”
