Effects of plant species richness and evenness on soil microbial community diversity and function (2010, background): “…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 through the…”
Soil amendment with biochar increases the competitive ability of legumes via increased potassium availability (2014, background): “It should be noted that a possible effect of P on plant competition in our experiment was unlikely, as the soil has a relatively high P status due to previous agricultural activity (Bezemer et al., 2006; Van de Voorde et al., 2010).”
Searching for unifying principles in soil ecology (2009, background): “We might expect changes in plant communities to have important influences on belowground biota, but several studies have found minimal direct effects of plant species identity on soil microbial community characteristics (Groffman et al., 1996; Maly et al., 2000; Bezemer et al., 2006; Kielak et al., ”
Soils as agents of selection: feedbacks between plants and soils alter seedling survival and performance (2010, background): “While ecological feedbacks linking above- to belowground processes at the species or functional scale have been examined (Bever et al. 1997; Binkley and Giardina 1998; Northup et al. 1998; Bartelt-Ryser et al. 2005; Bezemer et al. 2006), few studies have demonstrated how genetic variation affects pl”
Where, when and how plant-soil feedback matters in a changing world (2016, background): “For example, studies with the same plant species showed that the strengths of PSF effects differed between slightly acid sandy loam and calcareous soils (Bezemer et al. 2006).”
Influence of plant species and soil conditions on plant–soil feedback in mixed grassland communities (2010, background): “(2008), most previous studies on plant–soil feedback have been carried out under glasshouse conditions, often using soil inocula collected from soils conditioned by different plant species over relatively short time-scales (Bever 1994; Klironomos 2002; Bezemer et al. 2006).”
Plant–soil feedback: experimental approaches, statistical analyses and ecological interpretations (2010, methodology): “Such experiments are frequently analysed by calculating feedback values and analysing differences in feedback among species with anova (Van der Putten, Van Dijk & Peters 1993; Bezemer et al. 2006).”
Conspecific plant–soil feedbacks reduce survivorship and growth of tropical tree seedlings (2010, background): “…grow to the detriment of themselves and other conspecific individuals (van der Putten, Van Dijk & Peters 1993; Mills & Bever 1998; Klironomos 2002; Bezemer et al. 2006; Casper &Castelli 2007; Kardol et al. 2007), may be an important mechanism that could create NCDD mortality and ⁄or reduced…”
Invasive plants accelerate nitrogen cycling: evidence from experimental woody monocultures (2017, background): “Such plantmediated changes in soil N cycling in turn influence plant performance, plant community composition and ecosystem function (Vitousek et al. 1987; Wedin & Tilman 1990; Craine et al. 2002; Ehrenfeld 2003; Bezemer et al. 2006).”
Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, background): “…onwhichmicrobial process is measured and themethods chosen to analyze the soil microbial community (Niklaus et al., 2006; Wardle et al., 1999; Zak et al., 2003), the experimental design (Balvanera et al., 2006), site location (Bezemer et al., 2006) and plant species identity (Chen and Stark, 2000).”
Plant species influence microbial diversity and carbon allocation in the rhizosphere (2010, background): “, 1996; Bezemer et al., 2006a). However, Patra et al. (2008) showed that soil bacterial and fungal biomass did not differ between soils of different plant species while the microbial community structures did, due to the quality of rhizosphere carbon.”
Microbe-mediated plant-soil feedback causes historical contingency effects in plant community assembly (2007, result): “This supports our hypothesis that plant-specific changes in soil microorganism communities were involved in the observed feedback effects rather than changes in the availability of soil nutrients (Bezemer et al. 2006).”
