the experiment, especially the gardeners and many student

sample preparation for chemical analyses. We acknowledge I.

abstract = {This study aimed to measure the effect of plant diversity
on N uptake in grasslands and to assess the mechanisms
contributing to diversity effects.Annual N uptake into
above- and belowground organs and soil nitrate pools were
measured in the Jena experiment on a floodplain soil with
mixtures of 2-16 species and 1-4 functional groups, and
monocultures. In mixtures, the deviation of measured data
from data expected from monoculture performance was
calculated to assess the contribution of
complementarity/facilitation and selection.N uptake varied
from < 1 to 45 g N m(-2) yr(-1), and was higher in
grasslands with than without legumes. On average, N uptake
was higher in mixtures (21 +/- 1 g N m(-2) yr(-1)) than
monocultures (13 +/- 1 g N m(-2) yr(-1)), and increased with
species richness in mixtures. However, compared to N uptake
expected from biomass proportions of species in mixtures, N
uptake of mixtures was only slightly higher and a
significant surplus N uptake was confined to mixtures
containing legumes and non-legumes.In our study, high N
uptake of species rich mixtures was mainly due to dominance
of productive species and facilitation by legumes whereas
complementarity among non-legumes was of minor relevance.},
