    Abstract Root dynamics are among the largest knowledge gaps in determining how terrestrial carbon (C) cycles will respond to environmental change. Increases in productivity accompanying plant invasions and introductions could increase ecosystem C storage, but belowground changes are unknown, even though roots may account for 50-90% of production in temperate ecosystems. We examined whether the introduction of a widespread invasive grass with relatively high shoot production also increased belowground productivity and soil C storage, using a multiyear rhizotron study in 50-year-old stands dominated either by the invasive C3 grass Agropyron cristatum or by largely C4 native grasses. Relative to native vegetation, stands dominated by the invader had doubled root productivity. Soil carbon isotope values showed that the invader had made detectable contributions to soil C. Soil C content, however, was not significantly different between invader-dominated stands (0.42 mg C/g soil) and native vegetation (0.45 mg C/g soil). The discrepancy between enhanced production and lack of soil C changes was attributable to differences in root traits between invader-dominated stands and native vegetation. Relative to native vegetation, roots beneath the invader had 59% more young white tissue, with 80% higher mortality and 19% lower C:N ratios (all P < 0.05). Such patterns have previously been reported for aboveground tissues of invaders, and we show that they are also found belowground. If these root traits occur in other invasive species, then the global phenomenon of increased productivity following biological invasion may not increase soil C storage.

    Abstract Ecological models predict that the effects of mammalian herbivore exclusion on plant diversity depend on resource availability and plant exposure to ungulate grazing over evolutionary time. Using an experiment replicated in 57 grasslands on six continents, with contrasting evolutionary history of grazing, we tested how resources (mean annual precipitation and nutrient addition) determine herbivore exclusion effects on plant diversity, decomposed into richness and evenness. We test the hypothesis that in sites with a long history of ungulate grazing, plant diversity decreases with herbivore exclusion in resource-rich sites; whereas in short-history sites the effect of herbivore exclusion depends on plant species origin (native or exotic from long history sites). We found that in long-history sites, herbivore exclusion reduced plant diversity by reducing both richness and evenness, but only the response of richness to herbivore exclusion decreased with mean annual precipitation. In short-history sites, the effects of herbivore exclusion differed for native and exotic plant richness and depended on fertilization; native species richness was unaffected by herbivore exclusion, whereas exotic species richness declined with herbivore exclusion in fertilized plots. In sum, herbivore exclusion caused loss of plant diversity in resource rich grasslands that evolved with ungulates, but these findings do not simply extrapolate to other grasslands, rather they depend on grazing history and plant provenance. Thus, plant species' evolutionary history of grazing continues to shape the response of the world's grasslands to changing mammalian herbivory.
