  "description": "<p dir=\"ltr\">The study by Reinhart (2012) relied on a three-stage plant-soil feedback pot experiment and field measures of plant relative abundance at three northern mixed-grass prairie sites in eastern Montana, USA. The starting field soil inoculant was collected from three loamy sites 6–7 July, 2009. Soils were Eppa loam, frigid Aridic Argiustolls (site 1); Yamacall-Delpoint loam, aridic Haplustepts (site 2); and shambo loam, frigid Typic Haplustolls (site 3). Sites two and three had a history of moderate grazing, and site 1 had been rested from grazing since 1999. The pot experiment relied on two soil conditioning stages and a final plant-soil feedback experiment (each 100 days). The final stage grew 16 plant species (per site) in pots inoculated either with soil conditioned by conspecifics or heterospecifics for a total of 960 pots. For each stage, plants were grown for 100 days in a controlled growth room and watered with reverse osmosis water twice per week. At the end of the final stage, shoot and root biomass were measured.</p><p dir=\"ltr\">Field measures of relative frequency of prairie plants was done 25 June to 8 July, 2008.</p><p dir=\"ltr\">Dataset includes two data files and metadate file (readme).</p><p dir=\"ltr\">USDA appropriated funds: 5434-21630-002-00D to Dr. Reinhart.</p>",
