Figure 2.  Shoot height, shoot and root biomass of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal P. deltoides plants grown under different aluminum concentrations. Mean of six replicates±SEM. (Al: significant between Al concentration, EcM: significant between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants; Al×EcM: interaction, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001; n.s, not significant. Empty bars: non-mycorrhizal; filled bars: mycorrhizal plants).
