Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the performance of Acaena elongata colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) to different phosphorus (P) concentrations, as a measure of AMF dependency. A. elongata, is a species from soils where P availability is limited, such as temperate forests. Our research questions were: 1) How do
different P concentrations affect the AMF association in Acaena elongata, and 2) How does the AMF association
influence A. elongata’s growth under different P concentrations? A. elongata’s growth, P content in plant tissue,
AMF colonization and dependency were measured under four P concentrations: control (0 g P kg−1… More >
