This project explores plant-soil feedback mechanisms to control invasive weeds, specifically common ragwort. By manipulating soil properties and studying interactions with herbivores, it aims to develop effective biocontrol strategies that enhance native plant diversity and improve grassland health.
Recent research has proven that plant-soil feedbacks (PSF) can shape plant community composition, and that soil inoculation can be used to steer this.
This provides the yet unexplored potential to target PSF for the control of noxious weeds, which are among the major threats to native plant diversity and forage yield.
Recent studies showed that PSF-induced changes in plant chemistry can consecutively affect aboveground herbivory, a driver of plant performance that is used in weed biocontrol. I h…
