Abstract
Contents Summary 91 I. Introduction 91 II. Primary PSF mechanisms 91 III. Factors mediating the mechanisms of PSF 93 IV. Conclusions and future directions 94 Acknowledgements 95 Author contributions 95 References 95 SUMMARY: Plant-soil feedback (PSF) occurs when plants alter soil properties that influence the performance of seedlings, with consequent effects on plant populations and communities. Many processes influence PSF, including changes in nutrient availability and the accumulation of natural enemies, mutualists or secondary chemicals. Typically, these mechanisms are investigated in isolation, yet no single mechanism is likely to be completely responsible for PSF as these processes can interact. Further, the outcome depends on which resources are limiting and the other plants and soil biota in the surrounding environment. As such, understanding the mechanisms of PSF and their role within plant communities requires quantification of the interactions among the processes influencing PSF and the associated abiotic and biotic contexts.
