  • Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment is driving global biodiversity decline and modifying ecosystem functions. Theory suggests that plant functional types that fix atmospheric nitrogen have a competitive advantage in nitrogen-poor soils, but lose this advantage with increasing nitrogen supply. By contrast, addition of phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients may benefit such species in low nutrient environments by enhancing their nitrogen-fixing capacity. We present the first global-scale experiment confirming these predictions for nitrogen-fixing legumes (Fabaceae) across 45 grasslands on six continents. Nitrogen addition reduced legume cover, richness, and biomass particularly in nitrogen-poor soils while cover of non-nitrogen-fixing plants increased. Addition of phosphorous, potassium, and other nutrients enhanced legume abundance but did not mitigate the negative effects of nitrogen addition. Increasing nitrogen-supply thus has potential to decrease the diversity and abundance of grassland legumes worldwide regardless of the availability of other nutrients, with consequences for biodiversity, food webs, ecosystem resilience and genetic improvement of protein-rich agricultural plant species.
