Plantsoil interactions play an important role in the functioning of ecosystems. Soil properties represent a strong selection pressure for plant diversity and influence the structure of plant communities and biodiversity. The complexity of plantsoil interactions has recently been studied by developing a trait-based approach in which responses and effects of plants on soil environment are quantified and modelled. This fundamental research on plantsoil interaction in ecosystems is essential to transpose knowledge of functional ecology to environmental management.\n\nFrontiers in.
