Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Grassland soil biota had a neutral effect on A. scabra growth when grown alone.
- Intervention effect Wolf-willow soil biota strongly reduced A. scabra growth when grown alone.
- Intervention effect In wolf-willow soils, either neighbour individually removed the detectable negative soil biota effect on A. scabra.
- Intervention effect In wolf-willow soils, the negative soil biota effect re-emerged when both neighbours co-occurred.
- Intervention effect In grassland soils, the negative effect disappeared in the multi-neighbour treatment.
