Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Ceiba pentandra formed mycorrhizas in all treatments.
- Intervention effect Ceiba pentandra had the most root colonization in ambient soil.
- Intervention effect Ceiba pentandra grew fastest in ambient soil.
- Intervention effect Severing hyphae in fumigated soil produced the least mycorrhizal colonization of Eucalyptus seedlings.
- Intervention effect Severing hyphae in fumigated soil produced the best Eucalyptus seedling growth.
- Observation Three of ten Eucalyptus seedlings died in ambient soil with intact network hyphae.
- Intervention effect Iron fertilization completely remedied chlorosis in Eucalyptus seedlings.
- Intervention effect Iron fertilization stimulated Eucalyptus leaf growth.
- Mechanism The authors infer that common arbuscular mycorrhizal networks mediate belowground competition and may worsen iron deficiency, enhancing resistance to Eucalyptus invasion.
- Mechanism The authors suggest common arbuscular mycorrhizal networks help maintain the rain forest-savanna boundary.
