The dependence of (a) plant mass and soil abundance of (b) soil fungi, (c) soil gram-positive bacteria and (d) gram-negative bacteria on soil Cd concentrations and plant species in the conditioning phase.

Increasing #HeavyMetalCadmium concentrations positively influenced the #Plant_soilFeedback (PSF) of #PhytolaccaAmericana while exacerbating the negative PSF of Phytolacca acinosa.

Effects of nutrient and density on plant-soil feedbacks of co-occurring invasive and native plants Abstract. Invasive plants often generate more positive plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) than natives. The direction and strength of PSFs have been affected by r

Response of soil biota to agricultural management practices: A systematic quantitative meta-data-analysis and method selection framework Soil organisms are vital to soil health, however, their inclusion in monitoring frameworks remains limited. Yet, it is well-known that agricultural ma…

How do agricultural practices impact soil organisms? 🌱 A recent #BENCHMARKS study found that sustainable practices support soil health, and developed a new scoring system for selecting biological indicators.
