Table 3.
Comparison between the EM and AM tree species in terms of fine root turnover and fine root productivity (FRP).
Mycorrhiza type | No. of species | Turnover (year-1) | FRP (g m-2 year-1) |
---|---|---|---|
AM | 3 | 0.72 ± 0.22 | 121.51 ± 20.07 |
EM | 3 | 0.60 ± 0.07 | 146.49 ± 18.15 |
Given are the group mean ± SE, based on the species’ median turnover and mean FRP. Both differences were not significant at p < 0.05 according to a Mann–Whitney U-test.
