%X This dataset records the above-ground biomass, underground biomass and total biomass of leguminous and non-leguminous plants during the soil conditioning stage, plant-soil feedback stage, and under different microbial diversity treatments. Based on four gramineae species: bromus glabrous, perennial ryegrass, arrowhead and reed fescue, and four leguminous species: alfalfa, white clover, red clover and sainfoin, the experiment constructed plant communities with species richness of 1, 2, 4 and 8, and set different proportions of gramineae to legumes. The data set includes 3 worksheets: 640 pieces of biomass data for individual species in the regulation stage; 1600 pieces of data for the plant-soil feedback stage, consisting of 20 types of regulated soils, 20 types of planted plants or communities and 4 repeats; Microbial diversity processing data 480 pieces, consisting of 2 types of regulated soils, 20 types of planted plants or communities, 3 microbial diversity levels and 4 repeats. This dataset can be used to analyze the impact of plant species richness, plant functional group composition, soil carryover effects and microbial diversity on plant productivity and biomass allocation.The "Feedback Phase" worksheet contains 1600 records, with the main fields including adjusted soil, soil type, planted plants or communities, species diversity, plant functional groups, homologous or heterologous soil types, aboveground biomass, underground biomass, and total biomass. This section consists of a complete intersection of 20 conditioned soils and 20 feedback stage plants or communities, with 4 replicates set up for each combination.The "Microbial Diversity" worksheet contains 480 records, and the main fields include regulated soil, growing plants or communities, species diversity, plant functional groups, microbial diversity levels, aboveground biomass, underground biomass, and total biomass. Microbial diversity is set at 3 levels H, M and L, and each treatment combination is
