    ID: Plot ID composited of Fence & Treatment number (90 plots total) Grassland: Name of the six subalpine grasslands where the exclosure setups were erected. In large grasslands (GRIM, MING, STAB), we established four hierarchical exclosure setups (two in short- and two in tall-grass vegetation), whereas in the small grasslands (BOTS, DADA, MARG) only one setup was erected per vegetation type. BOTS = Val dal Botsch, GRIM = Grimmels, MING = Val Mingér, STAB = Alp Stabelchod, DADA = Stabelchod da daint, MARG = Margunet Fence: Number of exclosure setup (1 - 18). Note that uneven numbers (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17) represent setups established on short-grass vegetation, even numbers (2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18) setups established in tall-grass vegetation Vegetation Vegetation type, 1 = short-grass vegetation, 2 = tall-grass vegetation; (9 replicate fences on each vegetation type) Treatment Progressive animal exclusion, numbers indicate which animals had access to the plot: 1 = Large/medium/small mammals, and invertebrates have access ("L/M/S/I"), 2 = Medium/small mammals, and invertebrates have access (“M/S/I”), 3 = Small mammals and invertebrates have access (“S/I”), 4 = Invertebrates have access (“I”), 5 = No animals have access (“None”) Bulkden: Fine fraction soil bulk density (g cm-3) Soil.moist : Soil moisture (%) Soil.org.C: Rhizosphere soil C content (%) pH: Soil pH Nema.PC1: First principal component (PC1) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil nematode community composition Nema.PC2: Second principal component (PC2) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil nematode community composition Micro.PC1: First principal component (PC1) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil microbial community composition Micro.PC2: Second principal component (PC2) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil microbial community composition Abv.Inv.PC1: First principal component (PC1) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the aboveground-dwelling invertebrate community composition Abv.Inv.PC2: Second principal component (PC2) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the aboveground-dwelling invertebrate community composition Arthr.PC1: First principal component (PC1) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil arthropod community composition Arthr.PC2: Second principal component (PC2) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil arthropod community composition Plant.PC1: First principal component (PC1) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the plant community composition Plant.PC2: Second principal component (PC2) of principal component analysis (PCA) of the plant community composition Root.biomass: Root biomass (g m-2) Micro.biomass : Microbial biomass carbon (mg kg-1) Plant.richness: Plant species richness Plant.N: Plant tissue nitrogen content (%) Soil.N.min: Soil net nitrogen mineralisation (kg ha-1 season) Soil.resp: Soil carbon dioxide emissions (soil respiration; g m-2 h-1)
