Using plant‐soil feedbacks to predict plant biomass in diverse communities

It has become clear that plants can create soils that affect subsequent plant growth. However, because plant‐soil feedbacks ( PSF s) are typically measured in monoculture experiments, it remains unclear to what extent PSF s affect plant growth in communities. Here we used data from a factorial PSF experiment to predict the biomass of 12 species grown in 162 plant community combinations. Five different plant growth models were parameterized with...
