Grassland biodiversity experiments have shown a positive effect of plant diversity on soil C and N storage. However, these experiments all included legumes, which constitute an important N input through N\n                          <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                          \u2010fixation.

In an 11\u2010year grassland biodiversity experiment without legumes, we measured soil C and N stocks. We further determined above\u2010ground biomass productivity, standing root biomass, soil organic matter decomposition and N mineralization rates to understand the mechanisms underlying the change in soil C and N stocks in relation to plant diversity and their feedbacks to plant productivity.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>We found that soil C and N stocks increased by 18% and 16% in eight\u2010species mixtures compared to the average of monocultures of the same species, respectively. Increased soil C and N stocks were mainly driven by increased C input and N retention, resulting from enhanced plant productivity, which surpassed enhanced C loss from decomposition. Importantly, higher soil C and N stocks were associated with enhanced soil N mineralization rates, which can explain the strengthening of the positive diversity\u2013productivity relationship observed in the last years of the experiment.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>\n                          <jats:italic>Synthesis<\/jats:italic>\n                          . We demonstrated that also in the absence of legumes, plant species richness promotes soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks via increased plant productivity. In turn, enhanced soil C and N stocks showed a positive feedback to plant productivity via enhanced N mineralization, which could further accelerate soil C and N storage in the long term.\n                        <\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                    <\/jats:list>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2745.12280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,11]],"date-time":"2014-06-11T08:47:59Z","timestamp":1402476479000},"page":"1163-1170","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":284,"title":["Plant species richness promotes soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in grasslands without legumes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Wen\u2010Feng","family":"Cong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Soil Quality Wageningen University P.O.
