Steering community development – how do sowing and soil inoculation affect above- and belowground communities over two decades?

Provides data on vegetation and nematode community composition monitored for 20 years in plots that were either sown with 15 mid-succession plant species or inoculated with mid-succession soil in a full-factorial randomized block design in an ex-arable fiedl (Mossel) that had just been abandoned. A detailed description of the methods is included.
