Fig. 5

Bar plots showing means and standard error of the mean for the effects of dark septate endophyte inoculation of invasive P. australis at different salinity levels (Freshwater: no added NaCl, Mesohaline: 200 mM NaCl, and Polyhaline: 400 mM NaCl) on (a) aboveground biomass, (b) average stem height, (c), leaf biomass, and (d) root:shoot ratio. NS indicates p values greater than p = 0.1. Average stem height for freshwater treatments was not recorded because there were sometimes over one hundred per pot making it difficult to get an accurate count.
