- Intervention effect AM associations increased poplar biomass by 14–74%, depending on nutrient conditions.
- Intervention effect EM associations increased poplar biomass by 14–74%, depending on nutrient conditions.
- Intervention effect AM and EM associations had minimal effects on secondary cell wall composition.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal plants allocated a greater portion of biomass to roots, particularly with EM fungi.
- Association Leaf nutrient content was weakly positively correlated with wood production in mycorrhizal plants.
- Association Phosphorus played a larger role in EM plants than in AM plants.
- Association Relative nitrogen and phosphorus availability correlated with shifts in secondary cell wall composition.
