Variability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities within the root systems of individual plants is high and influenced by host species and root phosphorus

The data
contains 3 files:

AM fungal
community matrix, treatment table (samples description), and a table with plant
traits.

trflp_OTUtable.csv

AM fungal
community matrix based on TRLFP analyses. Samples-by-binned-OTUs (operational
taxonomic unit) tables of Glomeromycota Fungi for each molecular sample; ‘Sample’
(sample ID) and OTU (other columns).

treatments.csv

Treatment
table, description of each sample. Contains information on the treatments
associated with each sample. Columns description: ‘Sample’ (sample ID, which is
the sample number used in the OTUmatrix), ‘Spp’ (plant species from which the
AM fungal community was sampled),‘Treatment’ (watering treatment applied in the
plot from which the sample was collected), ‘Plot’ (plot number from which the
sample was collected at DRI-Grass, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment), ‘Individual’
(unique ID of the plant individual from which the AM fungal community was
sampled), ‘Subplot’ (subplot ID).

rootTraits.csv

Plant root
traits. Table containing sample description and root traits of each plant
species. Columns description: ‘individual’ (unique ID of the plant individual
from which the AM fungal community was sampled), ‘species’ (plant species from which the AM
fungal community was sampled),‘treatment’ (watering treatment applied in the
plot from which the sample was collected), ‘Plot’ (plot number from which the
sample was collected at DRI-Grass, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment),
‘Subplot’ (subplot ID), ‘distance’ (AM fungal community distance within the
same plant individual based on Jaccard dissimilarity index), ‘sample’ (sample
ID), ‘N’ (Nitrogen, ppm) and ‘C’ (Carbon, ppm), ‘Mn’ (Manganese), ‘P’
(Phosphorous), ‘K’ (Potassium), ‘Ca’ (Calcium), ‘Zn’ (Zinc) concentration in
ppm and ‘Si’ (Silicon) concentration in %, in root tissues, ‘biomass’ (dry
weight of the roots in mg), ‘SRL’ (Specific Root Length; root length (cm) / dry
weight of the roots (mg)), ‘diameter’ (average diameter of the root system, in
mm), ‘fine.ratio’ (ratio between the length of the fine roots (<1mm
diameter) and coarse roots (>1mm diameter)), ‘type’ (plant functional
group).
