Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Native soil communities increased plant biomass on average.
- Association Native plants gained less biomass benefit from soil communities than alien plants.
- Association Drought effects on plant biomass did not depend on soil community presence.
- Intervention effect With soil biota present, drought increased allocation to root biomass.
- Observation Competition effects were subtle and varied by species.
- Association Mycorrhizal colonization differences among species explained plant performance differences between soils.
- Observation Mycorrhizal colonization was similar in alien and native plants.
- Intervention effect Drought did not alter mycorrhizal colonization.
