<b>Species-level studies fail to predict plant-soil feedbacks in diverse plant communities</b>

Our study revealed that when soil was conditioned by more than four species, community-level PSFs were dominated by specific species rather than being an aggregation of single-species PSFs. This pattern may occur because rhizosphere fungal communities are co-influenced by both host and neighbouring species diversity.

本研究揭示：当土壤经4种及以上物种驯化后，群落水平的植物-土壤反馈（Plant-Soil Feedback, PSF）主要由特定物种主导，而非单种植物-土壤反馈的简单叠加。该模式的成因可能为根际真菌群落同时受到宿主植物与邻体物种多样性的共同影响。
