Fig. 8 Relationships between seedling performance (shoot length, dry weight) and the colonization rate of mycorrhizal fungi. Left: seedlings of arbuscular mycorrhizal trees. Right: seedlings of ectomycorrhizal trees. If the relationship was statistically significant (p< 0.05), the Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R ) andp -value were displayed in the figure. Relationships between the dry weight of AM trees and the colonization of AM fungi were not presented because there were no significant relationships.
