Short-term plant-soil feedback experiments fall short in predicting competition outcome of long-term field experiment

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 coexistence, ...

Soil warming experiments challenge assumptions about climate change

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

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 ...
