Mutualist and pathogen traits interact to affect plant community structure in a spatially explicit model

Microbial plant-soil feedbacks (PSF) are fundamentally important for plant diversity. The authors present a spatially explicit dynamic model that separates the effects of microbial mutualists and pathogens, thereby presenting a testable mechanistic framework to reconcile previously puzzling observat...

Sumario:Microbial plant-soil feedbacks (PSF) are fundamentally important for plant diversity. The authors present a spatially explicit dynamic model that separates the effects of microbial mutualists and pathogens, thereby presenting a testable mechanistic framework to reconcile previously puzzling observations of the strength and direction of PSF with diversity maintenance.
