Table 1.
Plant growth and mycorrhizal colonization of R. pseudoacacia 12 weeks after transplant.
Fig 1.
Percentage of root length in different diameter classes measured in R. pseudoacacia roots colonized by R. irregularis (RI), G. versiforme (GV) or not (CV).
Significant differences are indicated by different letters (one-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD; P = 0.05; n = 6). Replicate data is from S1 Dataset.

Effect of AM fungi inoculation on root morphological characters.
Table 3.
Effect of AM fungi on the root tensile force and strength of R. pseudoacacia, and the power law equation describe relationships between root tensile strength (Tr) and root diameter (D).
Fig 2.
GRSP content and hyphae length in rhizosphere of R. pseudoacacia colonized by R. irregularis (RI), G. versiforme (GV) or not (CV).
Significant differences are indicated by different letters (one-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD; P = 0.05; n = 6). EE-GRSP, easily extractable glomalin-related soil protein; T-GRSP, total glomalin-related soil protein; HL, hyphae length. Replicate data is from S1 Dataset.
Fig 3.
Mean weight diameter and geometric mean diameter of water stable aggregate in the rhizosphere of R. pseudoacacia colonized by R. irregularis (RI), G. versiforme (GV) or not (CV).
Significant differences are indicated by different letters above the column (one-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD; P = 0.05; n = 3). MWD, mean weight diameter; GMD, geometric mean diameter. Replicate data is from S1 Dataset.
