We set up a greenhouse experiment to study effects of plant competition (one- and two-species treatments), Collembola (Heteromurus nitidus and Protaphorura armata), and AMF (Glomus intraradices) on the performance (above- and belowground productivity and nutrient uptake) of three grassland plant species (Lolium perenne, Trifolium pratense, and Plantago lanceolata) belonging to three dominant plant functional groups (grasses, legumes, and herbs). Generally, L. perenne benefited from being released from intraspecific competition in the presence of T. pratense and P. lanceolata. However, the presence of AMF increased the competitive strength of P. lanceolata and T. pratense against L. perenne and also modified the effects of Collembola on plant productivity. The colonization of roots by AMF was reduced in treatments with two plant species suggesting that plant infection by AMF was modified by interspecific plant interactions. Collembola did not affect total colonization of roots by AMF, but increased the number of mycorrhizal vesicles in P. lanceolata. AMF and Collembola both enhanced the amount of N and P in plant shoot tissue, but impacts of Collembola were less pronounced in the presence of AMF. Overall, the results suggest that, by differentially affecting the nutrient acquisition and performance of plant species, AMF and Collembola interactively modify plant competition and shape the composition of grassland plant communities. The results suggest that mechanisms shaping plant community composition can only be understood when complex belowground interactions are considered."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [FOR 456, Ei 862/1-1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00442-012-2375-z"],["dc.identifier.isi","000310999400014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22678109"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24821"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0029-8549"],["dc.title","Soil organisms shape the competition between grassland plant species"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Species-rich communities often use resources more efficiently thereby improving community performance. However, high competition within diverse communities may also reduce community functioning. We manipulated the genotypic diversity of Pseudomonas fluorescens communities, a plant mutualistic species inhibiting pathogens. We measured antagonistic interactions in vitro, and related these interactions to bacterial community productivity (root colonisation) and ecosystem service (host plant protection). Antagonistic interactions increased disproportionally with species richness. Mutual poisoning between competitors lead to a negative complementarity effect, causing a decrease in bacterial density by up to 98% in diverse communities and a complete loss of plant protection. The results emphasize that antagonistic interactions may determine community functioning and cause negative biodiversityecosystem functioning relationships. Interference competition may thus be an additional key for predicting the dynamics and performance of natural assemblages and needs to be implemented in future biodiversity models."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1461-0248.2012.01759.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000302288900009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22394557"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/26625"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1461-023X"],["dc.title","Increasing antagonistic interactions cause bacterial communities to collapse at high diversity"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, little is known about the relative importance of these drivers and the role of soil organisms in mediating plant community effects. We studied soil aggregate stability in an experimental grassland plant diversity gradient and considered several explanatory variables to mechanistically explain effects of plant diversity and plant functional group composition. Three soil aggregate stability measures (slaking, mechanical breakdown and microcracking) were considered in path analyses. Soil aggregate stability increased significantly from monocultures to plant species mixtures and in the presence of grasses, while it decreased in the presence of legumes, though effects differed somewhat between soil aggregate stability measures. Using path analysis plant community effects could be explained by variations in root biomass, soil microbial biomass, soil organic carbon concentrations (all positive relationships), and earthworm biomass (negative relationship with mechanical breakdown). The present study identified important drivers of plant community effects on soil aggregate stability. The effects of root biomass, soil microbial biomass, and soil organic carbon concentrations were largely consistent across plant diversity levels suggesting that the mechanisms identified are of general relevance."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s11104-013-1791-0"],["dc.identifier.isi","000327400400020"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28120"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1573-5036"],["dc.relation.issn","0032-079X"],["dc.title","Mechanisms linking plant community properties to soil aggregate stability in an experimental grassland plant diversity gradient"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Suppression of pathogens is known to be context-dependent and to vary between plant species, yet the significance of plant identity in shaping rhizosphere bacterial functioning in multi-species communities is largely unknown. We questioned whether the activity of a rhizosphere bacterium in producing biocontrol compounds varies with plant identity in a plant diversity gradient. We set up a gnotobiotic microcosm experiment with the model rhizosphere bacterium Pseudomonas protegens CHA0, an important biocontrol agent, and investigated the effects of plant identity and diversity on its production of biocontrol compounds. Using GFP-based reporter fusions, we assessed gene expression linked to the production of the biocontrol compounds 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, pyrrolnitrin and hydrogen cyanide. The expression of genes coding for biocontrol compounds was driven to a large extent by plant identity and this effect persisted along the plant species richness gradient for all tested genes. Notably, the effect of certain plant identities varied between the three tested genes, indicating a selective impact of plant species on bacterial gene expression. However, some plant species, such as Lolium perenne, consistently stimulated bacterial gene expression irrespective of the diversity of the plant community. Our results indicate that the presence of certain plant species within a community disproportionately impacts biocontrol traits expressed by rhizosphere bacteria, providing new insight into the patterns driving plant health and productivity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/1365-2435.12417"],["dc.identifier.isi","000361235200013"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/36139"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-2435"],["dc.relation.issn","0269-8463"],["dc.title","Plant identity drives the expression of biocontrol factors in a rhizosphere bacterium across a plant diversity gradient"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We set up bacterial communities of varying diversity and phylogenetic relatedness and measure investment into cooperation (proteolytic activity) and their vulnerability to invasion by defectors. We show that evolutionary relationships predict the stability of cooperation: phylogenetically diverse communities are rapidly invaded by spontaneous signal-blind mutants (ignoring signals regulating cooperation), while cooperation is stable in closely related ones. Maintenance of cooperation is controlled by antagonism against defectors: cooperators inhibit phylogenetically related defectors, but not distant ones.

We tested whether this relationship can be explained by plant diversity-induced changes i) in the quantity or quality of organic matter or ii) in microclimatic conditions of central European grassland mixtures. We measured ex-situ net ammonification in a laboratory incubation of aboveground plant material and soil sampled in differently diverse plant mixtures. Secondly, in-situ net ammonification was assessed in a field incubation with mineralization cores containing standardized material in four treatments: soil only (control), and soil mixed with field-fresh plant tissue (grass, legume, or tall herb). We used 82 plots with varying species numbers (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 60) and numbers of functional groups (1-4; grasses, short herbs, tall herbs, and legumes). We determined the soil water content, total N concentrations of plant and soil, and NH4-N release rates. In the ex-situ incubation under constant climatic conditions, functional group or plant species richness did not influence net ammonification rate constants (k) or the proportion of the organic N pool involved in ammonification (NH4-N-0). The presence of legumes in plant mixtures significantly increased NH4-N-0 and decreased k indicating elevated N leaching risks in legume-containing grassland mixtures. Mean in-situ net ammonification rates in the mineralization cores decreased in the following order: mixtures of soil with grasses (0.30 +/- standard error 0.01 mg NH4-N (g N-initial)(-1) d(-1)) > tall herbs (0.25 +/- 0.01) > legumes (0.22 +/- 0.01) > control (0.07 +/- 0.00). The type of incubated plant tissue also influenced the soil water content in the mineralization cores at the end of field incubation, likely because of different water retention capacities of the different plant tissue/soil mixtures. Significant plant functional group and species richness effects explained up to 13% of the variance of in-situ net ammonification rates. Because the effect of plant species richness disappeared if the type of incubated plant tissue and the soil water content were accounted for in a sequential ANCOVA, we infer that the soil water content was the main driver underlying the plant species richness effect.
