Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The urban green-compost ground cover significantly increased percent AMF colonization in strawberry and apple rootstocks compared with the other ground covers.
- Intervention effect AMF infection did not affect root diameter or leaf area.
- Intervention effect AMF suppressed root length: plants inoculated with AMF had shorter roots than non-inoculated plants.
- Intervention effect The ground covers had no effect on symbiotic AMF benefits.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that the green-compost treatment may have contributed more nutrition through its media composition of smaller particle size and lower lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose content.
