- Observation Hyphae of VA mycorrhizal fungi contributed 70% of total P uptake of mycorrhizal white clover in the Cambisol.
- Observation Hyphae of VA mycorrhizal fungi contributed 80% of total P uptake of mycorrhizal white clover in the Luvisol.
- Association In the hyphal compartments, water-extractable soil P decreased in both the Cambisol and the Luvisol.
- Association In the hyphal compartments, NaHCO3-extractable soil P decreased in the Luvisol.
- Association Soil pH decreased at the root-soil interface, in the hyphal compartment and at the hyphae-soil interface.
- Observation Soil P depletion profiles extended several millimetres from the hyphae surface into the soil.
