- •
Plant N-use efficiency increases with increasing species richness in sandy grassland restoration.
- •
Plant N-use is associated with traits of the most abundant species and function dispersion.
- •
Soil properties affect plant N-use via indirect effect on vegetation rather than direct effect.
- •
Plant functional diversity mediates effects of vegetation and soil properties on plant N-use.
