abstract = {Biodiversity is expected to improve ecosystem services, e.
g., productivity or seepage water quality. The current view
of plant diversity effects on element cycling is based on
short-term grassland studies that discount possibly slow
belowground feedbacks to aboveground diversity. Furthermore,
these grasslands were established on formerly arable land
associated with changes in soil properties, e. g.,
accumulation of organic matter. We hypothesize that the
plant diversity-N cycle relationship changes with time since
establishment. We assessed the relationship between plant
diversity and (1) aboveground and soil N storage and (2)
NO3-N and NH4-N availability in soil between 2003 and 2007
in the Jena Experiment, a grassland experiment established
in 2002 in which the number of plant species varied from 1
to 60. The positive effect of plant diversity on aboveground
N storage (mainly driven by biomass production) tended to
increase through time. The initially negative correlation
between plant diversity and soil NO3-N availability
disappeared after 2003. In 2006 and 2007, a positive
correlation between plant diversity and soil NH4-N
availability appeared which coincided with a positive
correlation between plant diversity and N mineralized from
total N accumulated in soil. We conclude that the plant
diversity-N cycle relationship in newly established
grasslands changes with time because of accumulation of
organic matter in soil associated with the establishment.
While a positive relationship between plant diversity and
soil N storage improves soil fertility and reduces
fertilizing needs, increasingly closed N cycling with
increasing plant diversity as illustrated by decreased NO3-N
concentrations in diverse mixtures reduces the negative
impact of agricultural N leaching on groundwater resources.},
