<b>01.supporting_data_transplantation:</b> Data collected from soil and plant material. Plants (perennial ryegrass) and soil were either previously exposed to a 2-month experimental summer drought or to well-watered control conditions in the field and subsequently transplanted, resulting in the following combinations: stressed plants into stressed soil, stressed plants into control soil, control plants into stressed soil, and control plants into control soil. Plants and soil were rewetted and productivity (aboveground biomass), plant nitrogen availability, leaf nitrogen content, biomass N, specific leaf area, and leaf d13C, d18O and d15N were assessed as indicators for plant recovery.<b>02.supporting_data_field:</b> Aboveground productivity and plant nitrogen availability measured in the field<b>03.supporting_data_SWP:</b> soil water potential data measured in the field Metadata can be found in the files.
