Data set belonging to the study 'Plant population and soil origin
effects on nematode community composition in the rhizosphere of a
range-expanding plant species and a native congener'. In this study,
we experimentally compared the development of nematode communities
originating from northern and southern European soils in the rhizospheres
of different populations of the range-expanding plant species Centaurea
stoebe and the native plant species Centaurea jacea. The experiment was
carried out in a greenhouse of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology
(NIOO-KNAW; Wageningen, The Netherlands).
The presented nematode community data was collected from micro-cosms
containing sterilized background soil inoculated with 10% live soil from
either Slovenian or Dutch grassland systems. These microcosms were grown
for 11 weeks with a single individual of Centaurea stoebe, a
range-expanding plant species that recently has established in
north-western Europe, or the native plant species Centaurea jacea. These
plants originated from three different populations from both northern
Europe (Netherlands) and southern Europe (Slovenia). After 11 weeks,
aboveground and belowground plant parts were harvested, dried and weighed.
Nematode communities were collected using Oostenbrink elutriators.
Nematodes were identified up to trophic groups (bacterivores, fungivores,
predators + omnivores) or, in the case of root-feeding nematodes, up to
the level of family or genus.
No missing values; a couple of samples (N = 4) were lost during the
nematode analyses. ReadMe-file is included in the document.
