Effects of between‐site variation in soil microbial communities and plant‐soil feedbacks on the productivity and composition of plant communities

Summary A critical challenge in the science and practice of restoration ecology is to understand the drivers of variation in restoration outcomes. Soil microbial communities may have a role in explaining this variation due to both site‐to‐site variation in the composition of soil microbial communities and due to variation that can arise due to plant‐soil feedbacks. We tested the relative importance of between‐site variation in soil microbial...
