Journal ArticleDOI
Plant, soil and microbial controls on grassland diversity restoration: a long‐term, multi‐site mesocosm experiment
Ellen L. Fry,E. S. Pilgrim,J. R. B. Tallowin,R. S. Smith,Simon R. Mortimer,D. A. Beaumont,Janet Simkin,S. J. Harris,Robert Shiel,Helen Quirk,Kate A. Harrison,Clare Lawson,Phil J. Hobbs,Richard D. Bardgett +13 more
TL;DR: This paper carried out an eight-year mesocosm experiment across three locations in the UK to explore the relative and interactive roles of various aboveground and belowground factors in the establishment of target species, to determine general constraints on grassland restoration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of plant species evenness, dominant species identity and spatial arrangement on the structure and functioning of soil microbial communities in a model grassland
Luisa Massaccesi,Richard D. Bardgett,Richard D. Bardgett,Alberto Agnelli,Nick Ostle,Andrew Wilby,Kate H. Orwin,Kate H. Orwin +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, it appears that dominant species identity was the main driver of soil microorganisms and functioning in these model grassland communities, but that other plant community attributes such as evenness and spatial arrangement can also be important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grazing-induced effects on soil properties modify plant competitive interactions in semi-natural mountain grasslands
TL;DR: Asymmetric grazing-induced effects on competition on the basis of traits of the superior competitor and grazing effects on soil nutrients are explained and the relevance for plant community dynamics in grazed, semi-natural grasslands is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of soil age on ecosystem structure and function across biomes.

TL;DR: It is proposed that changes in the environmental context, such as those associated with global climatic and land-use changes, will have important long-term impacts on the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems across biomes.
