Table 3 The dependence of mycorrhizal colonization in the exudate application experiment on the fixed effects population origin of target recipient plant (“T”, China or US), venue (“V”, China or US experimental block), population origin of exudate donor plant (“E”, China or US), home vs. away soil collection (“H”), and their interactions and the random effects target population nested in target origin, exudate population nested in exudate origin, and soil site (“S”) nested in venue.

From: Increasing flavonoid concentrations in root exudates enhance associations between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and an invasive plant

  1. Model selection indicated the best fit model for mass was one with only target origin, venue and their interaction as fixed effects (see Table S1 for model selection results). Significant results are indicated in bold.
