contents This data set contains measurements of soil bulk density in different depth layers. Data presented here is from the Main Experiment plots of a large grassland biodiversity experiment (the Jena Experiment; see further details below). In the main experiment, 82 grassland plots of 20 x 20 m were established from a pool of 60 species belonging to four functional groups (grasses, legumes, tall and small herbs). In May 2002, varying numbers of plant species from this species pool were sown into the plots to create a gradient of plant species richness (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 60 species) and functional richness (1, 2, 3, 4 functional groups). Plots were maintained in general by bi-annual weeding and mowing. Since 2010, plot size was reduced to 5 x 6 m and plots were weeded three times per year. Soil bulk density was determined in spring from undisturbed soil samples to a depth of 30 cm. Three soil cores per plot were taken with a split tube sampler with an inner diameter of 4.8 cm and separated in depth increments of five cm. The bulk material was passed through a sieve with 2 mm mesh size, dried to constant weight at 40 °C and subsequently weighed to calculate the density. Paired sampling was chosen to avoid additional spatial variability (Lal et al., 2000), which means that three of the five sampling locations of 2002 bulk density measurement, that were in the core area of the plots, were chosen for the repeated sampling. The spatial distance of the paired soil samples were less than 30 cm.
