#NewPaper In Ecological Indicators we present our mesocosm experiment on soil fertility and soil biotic communities impacting slow- and fast-growing grassland species planted together @ForNaLab @FbwUGent @ILVOvlaanderen @niooknaw @WURplant @FWOVlaanderen bit.ly/33EVhuB👇 The slow-growing target species did well in phosphorus-poor mesocosms but performed poorly above the soil phosphorus threshold. This threshold in our artificial communities was comparable to the threshold in remnant Nardus grasslands. #prettygrasslands love #poorsoils
