Hello- I'm trying to determine all studies that have quantified soil feedbacks for 6 or more plant species in a community and also have measures of plant relative abundance for each species with a soil feedback value. If you have such data (published or unpublished), know of someone who has done this work, or have questions then please contact me. Thanks in advance.
These are studies I'm already familiar: Klironomos, J. N. 2002. Feedback with soil biota contributes to plant rarity and invasiveness in communities. Nature 417:67-70. MacDougall, A. S., M. C. Rillig, and J. N. Klironomos. 2011. Weak conspecific feedbacks and exotic dominance in a species-rich savannah. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 278:2939-2945. Mangan, S. A., S. A. Schnitzer, E. A. Herre, K. M. L. Mack, M. C. Valencia, E. I. Sanchez, and J. D. Bever. 2010. Negative plant-soil feedback predicts tree-species relative abundance in a tropical forest. Nature 466:752-755. McCarthy-Neumann, S., and R. K. Kobe. 2010. Conspecific plant-soil feedbacks reduce survivorship and growth of tropical tree seedlings. Journal of Ecology 98:396-407.
