text: Yo, check it out, I got some knowledge to drop,
  About plant species coexistence and how it won't stop.
  Temporal fluctuations, that's the name of the game,
  Understanding ecosystems, diversity's the aim.
  
  Plant microbiomes, they can change the competition,
  But in natural patterns, there's still some suspicion.
  In the semiarid grassland, things vary across the land,
  From static to dynamic, it's all in nature's hand.
  
  We hit the field, tested the successional track,
  To see if plant-soil interactions had their back.
  Stable patches showed negative feedback, my friend,
  Plants grew worse with their own, it's a trend.
  
  But in dynamic patches, it was a different tale,
  Feedbacks were neutral to positive, without fail.
  And the magnitude of feedbacks, it ain't no joke,
  Depended on plant frequency, that's how they spoke.
  
  When rare, they increased in cover, that's the trick,
  Promoting long-term coexistence, theory predicts.
  Causality ain't clear, but we made a connection,
  Plant-microbe interactions affect stability's reflection.
  
  So now we know, after 20+ years of advance,
  How plant abundance plays out, from patch to landscape dance.
