In this study, the authors investigate the influence of dunite addition on growth of barley and wheat in a mesocosm experiment. They amended the soil with the equivalent of 220 ton ha-1 dunite, using two grain sizes (p80 = 1020 µm and p80 = 43.5 µm), under two rainfall regimes (each receiving the same amount of 800 mm water y−1 but at daily versus weekly rainfall frequency).
