Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Plant-species soil conditioning had unique effects on J. vulgaris biomass and phloem amino acid concentrations in field soil
- Intervention effect Soil conditioning by forbs resulted in lower plant biomass of ragwort than conditioning by grasses or legumes
- Intervention effect Soil conditioning by forbs resulted in lower aphid performance than conditioning by grasses or legumes
- Association Soil fungal communities conditioned by plant species differed between grasses, forbs and legumes
