We immobilized nitrogen over six growing seasons on three ex-arable fields with poor sandy soils in the Hungarian lowland in order to restore endemic sandy grassland. Sucrose and sawdust were applied at rates based on previous laboratory experiments using local soils. We tested the efficacy of long-term carbon amendment for lowering soil nitrogen availability and favouring late-seral native species over early-seral weed species. Carbon amendments resulted in significant increase in soil microbial biomass C and reduced soil nitrogen availability after 2 years. Total vegetation cover was reduced by reducing soil nitrogen availability, but total species richness was not impacted. Cover of early-seral species decreased, and species richness and cover of late-seral species increased irrespective of nitrogen immobilization. However, after 4-6 years reducing soil nitrogen availability hampered the spread of moss under vascular vegetation. Synthesis and applications. This study supports the efficacy of carbon amendment as a tool to immobilize available soil nitrogen in the upper soil layers. However, the desired impact on vegetation was not fully achieved despite application over several years. Nitrogen immobilization was most relevant to bryophytes, lacking deep root systems, which may explain the responsiveness of this group to N limitation. The different impact of N availability on the complex of early-seral, late-seral vascular species and that of the bryophyte layer provides opportunity for directing state transformations in arid grasslands. Bryophyte cover can be suppressed through carbon amendments in order to enhance the germination and establishment of grassland species. The advantage of the method is that it opens bryophyte cover gradually without disturbing the soil surface, possibly avoiding the establishment of invasive species. However, further studies are required for deeper insight. © 2014 The Authors.

Three sites were selected along a 200 km transect in the sand forest-steppe vegetation of the Hungarian Plain. Percentage canopy cover was estimated by species in 30 pairs of randomly located 16 m(2) quadrats at each site. Species were classified based on their phytosociological character, geographic distribution, and Raunkiaer life form. We found that species richness, canopy cover, diversity, and the relative importance of dry grassland generalists, forest species, and Hemicryptophytes decreased, whereas the relative importance of sand grassland specialists, Therophytes, and species with Continental and Sub-Mediterranean distribution increased with increasing aridity. We;Found that the existing differences in climate along the gradient are comparable to the predicted climate change for the region, therefore, the changes observed along the gradient may serve as hypotheses on the possible future changes in grassland structure and composition. However, the rate of changes is unpredictable. The indirect effects of climate, such as higher forest cover and soil organic matter content :it the wet end of the transect, may be important in driving the present differences in grassland composition, and may buffer or considerably slow down the expected changes.
