Ayer estuvimos en la #Gnight de Vigo con nuestro taller del proyecto #LivingSoiLL 🌱 donde hablamos sobre la salud del suelo y cómo el vermicompost puede ser una solución natural para mejorarla.

Did you miss the #LivingSoiLL poster at the @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social?
Don't worry, there are 2 days left to check it out!
I'll be around if you want to discuss.
Let's talk about soil health!
Nos vemos! 🌱

🌾 When grasses arrived first, communities rooted shallowly.
🌼☘️ When forbs or legumes arrived first, communities rooted more deeply.
Sowing forbs or legumes first led to deeper-rooted plant communities. The raster image in each panel shows predictions from a first generalised additive model of the planar root length density (pRLD) as a function of time (100-800 days) and soil depth (1.4-49.5 cm). Results are plotted separately for each PFG order of arrival scenario. On top of each raster, white dots and error bars indicate the mean values and 95% confidence intervals (non-parametric bootstrap) of the mean rooting depth (MRD) estimated from planar root length density data between days 100 and 800, respectively. Continuous lines are predicted MRD values from a second generalised additive model.

To explore this, we set up a field experiment (the POEM exp.) in a dry grassland in Germany, manipulating the order of arrival of plant functional groups by introducing grasses, legumes or herbs before the others, and conducted the experiment in two different years with different weather conditions.

Our study looks at how the priority and year effects affect the structure and function of dry acidic grasslands. Priority effects occur when the order of arrival of species changes their interactions and community composition. But what happens when we add climate variability to the equation? 🌦️🤔
Overview of the POEM experiment. Panel A shows the experimental design for the first two sub-experiments (POEM2020 and POEM2021). Each sub-experiment was set up in a different year and consists of 25 mixture plots (3×3 m²) and 14 monoculture plots (2×2 m²). Plot ID numbers are shown inside the plots. Each PFG order of arrival scenario is represented by 5 replicates. Ac, Agrostis capillaris; Ao, Anthoxanthum odoratum; Bh, Bromus hordeaceus; Dd, Dianthus deltoides; Fo, Festuca ovina; Jm, Jasione montana; Lp, Lathyrus pratensis; Lc, Lotus corniculatus; Po, Pilosella officinarum; Ps, Pimpinella saxifraga; Pa, Potentilla argentea; Sv, Silene vulgaris; Ta, Trifolium arvense, Tc, Trifolium campestre. Panel B shows the PFG order of arrival scenarios tested in each sub-experiment. We tested five PFG order of arrival scenarios: (1) simultaneous sowing of forbs, grasses and legumes at the first sowing event (synchronous, S), (2) forbs sown six weeks before grasses and legumes (F), (3) grasses sown six weeks before forbs and legumes (G), (4) legumes sown six weeks before forbs and grasses (L), and (5) no sowing of additional species (free succession, B).
