Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal symbiosis increased plant regrowth following defoliation.
- Intervention effect Grasshoppers spent more time on mycorrhizal plants than on non-mycorrhizal plants.
- Intervention effect Herbivory intensity did not differ between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants.
- Intervention effect Aboveground herbivory by grasshoppers significantly increased mycorrhizal fungal colonization of plant roots.
- Observation Tallgrass prairie plant species differ strongly in their responses to the interaction of aboveground herbivores and mycorrhizal symbionts.
