Where, when and how plant-soil feedback matters in a changing world (2016, background): “Soil communities may adapt quickly to drought conditions, which can enhance water availability for plants and increases plant fitness (Lau & Lennon 2012; Fischer et al. 2014).”
Effects of plant community history, soil legacy and plant diversity on soil microbial communities (2020, background): “Plant–soil interactions can be positive or negative but, more importantly, are dynamic and may take time to develop (Kardol et al., 2013; Lau & Lennon, 2011, 2012; terHorst et al., 2014).”
Drought Stress and Root-Associated Bacterial Communities (2018, background): “This was demonstrated in Lau and Lennon (2012), where plant fitness under drought was highest when grown in previously droughted soils, while plant fitness under well-watered conditions was highest in soils where water was historically abundant.”
Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes (2018, background): “For example, soils harbor a diverse collection of microorganisms that affect the evolution and ecology of plant populations (Lau and Lennon 2012, van der Putten et al. 2013, 2016).”
The Plant Microbiota: Systems-Level Insights and Perspectives. (2016, background): “In a study by Lau & Lennon (69), Brassica rapa and associated soil microbial communities were adapted to dry and wet conditions, respectively, for three generations.”
Assembly of seed-associated microbial communities within and across successive plant generations (2017, background): “…Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center; and The Plant Resilience Institute, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA drought tolerance (Lau and Lennon 2012; Rolli et al. 2015), flowering time (Wagner et al. 2014; PankeBuisse et al. 2015; Dombrowski et al. 2017) and disease…”
Plant–soil feedbacks: connecting ecosystem ecology and evolution (2016, background): “Moreover, the reciprocal interactions that drive ecological changes to soil microbes can drive plant evolution in novel environments (Lau & Lennon 2011, 2012), and the evolutionary response by plants may shift below-ground community composition (Bailey et al. 2012; terHorst, Lennon & Lau 2014;…”
Assembly and ecological function of the root microbiome across angiosperm plant species (2018, background): “For example, soil microbes can intercept hormones in plants leading to a dampened stress response to drought (28, 29), and drought-induced shifts in soil microbial communities can reduce the negative fitness effects of drought (30).”
