Julia Dieskau et al. explored the mechanisms driving plant–soil feedbacks and their broader implications for ecosystem functioning and species coexistence.

🔎 The role of plant species origin and phylogenetic distance in interspecific plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs)

Methods: greenhouse experiment

Results:
1️⃣ The soil treated with local plant inoculation had a stronger inhibitory effect on biomass.
2️⃣ Phylogenetic distance did not influence PSFs.
