      abstract     = {The cultivation of perennial biomass plants on marginal
                      soils can serve as a sustainable alternative to conventional
                      biomass production via annual cultures on fertile soils.
                      Sida hermaphrodita is a promising species to be cultivated
                      in an extensive cropping system on marginal soils in
                      combination with organic fertilization using biogas
                      digestates. In order to enrich this cropping system with
                      nitrogen (N) and to increase overall soil fertility of the
                      production system, we tested the potential of intercropping
                      with leguminous species. In a 3-year outdoor mesocosm study,
                      we intercropped established S. hermaphrodita plants with the
                      perennial legume species Trifolium pratense, T. repens,
                      Melilotus albus, and Medicago sativa individually to study
                      their effects on plant biomass yields, soil N, and above
                      ground biomass N. As a control for intercropping, we used a
                      commercial grass mixture without N2-fixing species as well
                      as a no-intercropping treatment. Results indicate that
                      intercropping in all intercropping treatments increased the
                      total biomass yield, however, grass species competed with S.
                      hermaphrodita for N more strongly than legumes. Legumes
                      enriched the cropping system with fixed atmospheric nitrogen
                      (N2) and legume facilitation effects varied between the
                      legume species. T. pratense increased the biomass yield of
                      S. hermaphrodita and increased the total biomass yield per
                      mesocosm by $300\%.$ Further, the total above ground biomass
                      of S. hermaphrodita and T. pratense contained seven times
                      more N compared to the mono-cropped S. hermaphrodita. T.
                      repens also contributed highly to N facilitation. We
                      conclude that intercropping of legumes, especially T.
                      pratense and T. repens can stimulate the yield of S.
