Summary of the average dry mass (M d) for the different compartments and treatments
| Dry mass (g per pot) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roots | Stems | Old leaves | New leaves | |
| Treatment | ||||
| Control | 8.1a | 6.5a | 4.7ab | 2.5a |
| + P | 16.7b | 11.0b | 4.8a | 6.3b |
| − P | 14.3ab | 13.3b | 4.3b | 8.7b |
| Pooled SD | 4.1 | 1.4 | 0.3 | 1.4 |
| Source of variation (p value) | ||||
| Treatment | 0.07 | < 0.001 | 0.08 | 0.001 |
Values are means with n = 3 for the control and n = 4 for the + P and − P. Letters behind values indicate significant differences between the different treatment within the same plant parts based on a Tukey’s HSD test with α = 0.05. Pooled standard deviation (pooled SD)
