Abstract
The intrinsic nitrogen (N) supply capacity of soil is central to understanding the productivity of natural plant communities, and essential in the context of
determining optimal fertilization rates for agricultural soils. However, it is largely unknown how nutrient availability affects plant mediated priming effects driving soil organic matter mineralisation and associated N-fluxes.
