Schematic diagram of five-compartment root-box to grow C. squarrosa seedlings. The plant receiving AM fungal inoculum was designated as the donor plant, while the plant without inoculum was the recipient plant. The compartments were separated from each other via 37 µm mesh that only allowed the hyphae to pass, but not the roots. The black lines with the plant show the roots, while red lines show the common mycorrhizal network.
