Negative plant-soil feedbacks disproportionally affect dominant plants, facilitating coexistence in plant communities
Abstract Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are suggested to be major drivers of plant species coexistence and exotic invasions in natural plant communities, where species with more positive PSFs are thought to be more abundant in communities. Most evidence for this comes from mesocosm experiments with sin...
