Centaurea population effects on nematode communities

<p>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 <i>Centaurea stoebe</i> and the native plant species <em>Centaurea jacea</em>. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW; Wageningen, The Netherlands). </p>
