Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Inoculation with AMF did not affect substrate porosity or saturated water contents in tomato.
- Intervention effect Substrate porosity and saturated water contents declined after the substrates dried.
- Intervention effect Drying caused a decline in pot water capacity and hydraulic conductivity.
- Intervention effect Plant available water contents under wet (pF 1.8-4.2) and dry (pF 2.5-4.2) conditions increased in mycorrhizal substrates and were conserved after drying.
- Intervention effect Substrate hydraulic conductivity was higher in mycorrhizal pots before and during drought exposure.
- Intervention effect After water was withheld, substrate drying rates were higher in mycorrhizal substrates.
- Intervention effect After water was withheld, substrate water potentials were lower in mycorrhizal substrates.
- Intervention effect AMF restored the plant hydraulic status.
- Intervention effect AMF increased plant transpiration when soil moisture declined.
- Intervention effect The water potential at the root surface and the resistance to water flow in the rhizosphere were restored in mycorrhizal pots although the bulk substrate dried more.
- Intervention effect Substrates colonized by AMF can be more desiccated before substrate water flux quantitatively limits transpiration, most pronounced under high transpiration demands, with a difference of over 1000 hPa in substrate water potential.
