Out of the loop: Ecologists report short-term plant-soil feedback experiments fall short in predicting competition outcome of long-term field experiment

LOGAN, UTAH, USA – The cause-effect sequence or “feedback” between plants and their soil microbial communities plays an important role in structuring plant communities. To predict this synergistic ...

Out of the loop: Ecologists report short-term plant-soil feedback experiments fall short in predicting competition outcome of long-term field experiment

Ecologists have measured plant-soil feedbacks for six perennial prairie grass species in a short-term greenhouse study, and say their findings do not match outcomes observed in long-term experiment ...
