Table 1 The soil water content and ECM colonization of Pinus tabulaeformis seedlings under different drought intensity treatments. (mean ± standard error)

From: Effects of ectomycorrhizal fungi (Suillus variegatus) on the growth, hydraulic function, and non-structural carbohydrates of Pinus tabulaeformis under drought stress

Parameter T1 T2 T3 Significance
Soil water content (%) 80 40 20  
ECM colonization (%) 52 ± 6 b 60 ± 3 a 38 ± 6 c **
  1. Note: T1 = non-drought stress, T2 = moderate drought stress, T3 = severe drought stress. Data expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 6). Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between the means by Tukey (HSD) test (P < 0.05); “*” indicates that the interaction is significant (P<0.05); “**” indicates that the interaction is extremely significant (P<0.01); “ns” indicates no interaction (P ≥ 0.05)
