Fig. 3. Effects of mycorrhizal hyphal connections on seedling growth at ECM or AM dominated sites.
Left panels: ECM dominated sites. Right panels: AM dominated species. Pink: ECM tree species; Light blue: AM tree species; Red: tree species at sites dominated by conspecific adults. Species studied were: Castanopsis fabri (Cfab), Castanopsis fissa (Cfis), Engelhardia fenzelii (Efen), Schima superba (Ssup), Cryptocarya concinna (Ccon), and Artocarpus styracifolius (Asty). Values represent log response ratios and associated 95% confidence intervals, which compared seedling mean biomass of in-growth cores with 35 µm vs. 0.5 µm mesh in the growth experiment (n = 6 biologically independent seedlings for each treatment).
