Nutrient availability is an important driver of plant community composition as it changes competitive relations between species, which induce species shifts. We have set up multiple studies on the effect of fertilization and fluctuations in the availability of nutrients with allow studying the effect of fertilization on plant community composition, nutrient acquisition in a variety of conditions.
