Model outputs of the effect of farm management (monoculture vs polyculture), transect type (within‐row vs across‐row), and their interaction, plus focal crop (eggplant vs squash) and the soil properties index on Chao1 richness, observed richness, diversity and colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).
