The Role of Plant Diversity and Composition for Nitrate Leaching in Grasslands

The relationship between plant diversity and nitrate leaching into ground-water was investigated in a mid-European semi-natural grassland ecosystem. An experimental approach was used to directly manipulate plant diversity in the field, while holding other environmental factors constant. Species loss...
