The importance of aboveground-belowground interactions on the evolution and maintenance of variation in plant defence traits
Over the past two decades a growing body of empirical research has shown that many ecological processes are mediated by a complex array of indirect interactions occurring between rhizosphere-inhabiting organisms and those found on aboveground plant parts. Aboveground - belowground studies have thus...
