Abstract:
Our long‐term, multi‐site study indicates that successful restoration of species‐rich grassland is dependent primarily on priority effects, especially in the form of early‐coloniser species that suppress establishment of slow‐growing target species. We also show that priority effects vary with soil conditions, being stronger in clay than sandy soils, and on soils of high nutrient availability. As such, our work emphasises the importance of considering priority effects and local soil conditions in developing management strategies for restoring plant species diversity in grassland.
