      abstract     = {Diversity of species and order of arrival can have strong
                      effects on ecosystem functioning and community composition,
                      but these two have rarely been explicitly combined in
                      experimental setups. We measured the effects of both species
                      diversity and order of arrival on ecosystem function and
                      community composition in a grassland field experiment, thus
                      combining biodiversity and assembly approaches. We studied
                      the effect of order of arrival of three plant functional
                      groups (PFGs: grasses, legumes, and non-leguminous forbs)
                      and of sowing low and high diversity seed mixtures (9 or 21
                      species) on species composition and aboveground biomass. The
                      experiment was set up in two different soil types.
                      Differences in PFG order of arrival affected the biomass,
                      the number of species and community composition. As
                      expected, we found higher aboveground biomass when sowing
                      legumes before the other PFGs, but this effect was not
                      continuous over time. We did not find a positive effect of
                      sown diversity on aboveground biomass (even if it influenced
                      species richness as expected). No interaction were found
                      between the two studied factors. We found that sowing
                      legumes first may be a good method for increasing
                      productivity whilst maintaining diversity of central
                      European grasslands, although the potential for long-lasting
                      effects needs further study. In addition, the mechanisms
                      behind the non-continuous priority effects we found need to
                      be further researched, taking weather and plant-soil
                      feedbacks into account.},
