Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Seedling growth and biomass allocation responded non-linearly to P, with maximal aboveground biomass at P1.
- Intervention effect G. mosseae inoculation under P1 increased aboveground biomass by 42.9%.
- Intervention effect G. mosseae inoculation under P1 increased root P concentration by 18.4%.
- Intervention effect The indigenous AMF consortium enhanced leaf P and rhizosphere P under low-P conditions.
- Association AMF colonization was strongly associated with total plant biomass.
- Association Rhizosphere fungal alpha-diversity and community composition varied with P supply and AMF identity.
- Intervention effect Glomeromycota were enriched in inoculated treatments.
- Intervention effect Saprotroph abundance was reduced in inoculated treatments.
- Mechanism The AMF effects are context-dependent, reflecting strain-specific functional traits and the plant P-acquisition strategy, with growth promotion separated from immediate nutrient acquisition.
