(a) Conceptual framework illustrating soil legacy effects from plant conditioning, drought treatments, and species-specific interactions on plant growth and competition. First, drought treatment triggers notable shifts in soil microbial communities (1). Second, plant species identity specifically influences soil microbial communities, creating distinct plant legacy soils. The sequence of plant conditioning also affects these legacies (2). Third, drought and plant identity interactively create plant legacy soils, influencing plant performance across competition modes (3). (b) Schematic overview of the experiment. We produced 18 legacy soils by creating sequential conditions with the conspecific or heterospecific plant species in phases 1 and 2, and adding water treatments in phase 2. Sterilized soil was used as a control. In the third phase, we added treatments of plant-plant competition interactions to examine how soil legacy effects influence biomass allocation, root growth, and morphological traits under different competition modes.

Moderate clipping can induce significant over-#CompensatoryGrowth in #LeymusChinensis #Clones, effectively facilitating their spatial colonization, and enhanced soil nitrogen availability amplifies the compensatory growth response induced by clipping.
