Mycorrhizal colonization and root diameter of native and invasive plants of eastern North America

Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization (total and arbuscules) were measured
in roots of 10 species of eastern North American woody plants. Five were
non-native invasive and 5 were native species. Roots were collected from
ingrowth cores over three harvests during a single season, from a common
garden. Diameter was estimated from published root density and specific
root length values for each species.
