Plant community data from three greenhouse mesocosm experiments (tallgrass prairie, alpine tundra, desert grassland) manipulating nitrogen, competition, and soil microbes

Data are from three greenhouse mesocosm experiments representing three different systems: tallgrass prairie, alpine tundra, desert grassland. Treatments were nitrogen fertilization, competition (planting density), and soil microbes (microbes from control or fertilized field plots). Each mesocosm con...

Description
Summary:Data are from three greenhouse mesocosm experiments representing three different systems: tallgrass prairie, alpine tundra, desert grassland. Treatments were nitrogen fertilization, competition (planting density), and soil microbes (microbes from control or fertilized field plots). Each mesocosm consisted of a mix of 9 species. Data collected were the following: biomass (above + below ground) of each species in each mesocosm, total mesocosm biomass, diversity, evenness, richness.
