From: Low soil phosphorus and high symbiotic fungal richness inhibits plant aboveground biomass in fragmented forests in China

Fig. 6: Conceptual framework of variations in soil nutrients, fungal richness and plant aboveground biomass among islands.

Across different islands, plant aboveground biomass on small island was decreased due to lower soil P content and higher symbiotic fungal richness compared with large island. Within island, plant on small island rely more on fungal symbiosis due to low soil P level, whereas plants on large island rely more on soil P nutrient. Figure 6 was drawn by Jing Guo.
