  1. *Units within a column followed by the same superscript/s are not significantly different at p > 0.05. The AMF species were from the soil of homegarden based agroforestry practices (HAFP), cropland-based agroforestry practices (CLAFP), woodlot-based agroforestry practices (WlAFP) and trees on soil and water conservation-based agroforestry practices (TSWAFP) in drylands of southern Ethiopia
