Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Ectomycorrhizal fungal inoculation increased Pinus seedling growth between 10 and 260% at 6 months old.
- Association The growth response to ectomycorrhizal inoculation was higher for Pinus species with lower seed mass.
- Association The growth response to ectomycorrhizal inoculation was higher for Pinus species with higher dispersal ability, higher Z score and more naturalized regions.
