Tripartite community phenotypes. (a) Aspen seedlings were grown in sand pots in four experimental conditions: aspen seedlings alone (Aspen), aspen with the mycorrhizal fungi Laccaria (Aspen+Lb), aspen with the MHB P. fluorescens SBW25 (Aspen+Pf), and aspen with both Laccaria and SBW25 (Aspen+Lb + Pf). A typical example of aspen under each experimental condition after 63 days of growth is shown. (b) Shoot biomass, (c) Root biomass, and (d) Percent mycorrhization of aspen seedling roots were measured in tripartite community systems (‘Aspen’ = aspen, ‘Lb’ = L. bicolor, ‘Pf’ = P. fluorescens). ‘*’ indicates a statistically significant difference between Percent mycorrhization with Laccaria and with Laccaria + SBW25
