Biological, chemical and physical properties of native vegetation soil and <i>Ricinus communis</i> and <i>Jatropa curcas</i> soil (n = 5).

<p>Degree of AM fungal colonization in roots of <i>R. communis</i>, <i>J. curcas</i> seedlings and native vegetation soil.</p><p>MBC: microbial biomass C; Means ± standard errors; Values in row followed by the same letter do not differ significantly (<i>P</i><0.05) as determined by the LSD test.</p

Sampling effort curves for native vegetation soil, <i>Ricinus communis</i> soil and <i>Jatropa curcas</i> soil.

<p>The sample order was randomized by 100 replications in EstimateS, version 8.0 <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0034887#pone.0034887-Colwell1" target="_blank">[56]</a>.</p

Pearson's coefficients of correlation and significance level between the soil parameters measured, the root length colonised and the AMF diversity (n = 5).

Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) of the different AMF sequence types and soil properties detected in the three soils studied.

<p>The eigenvalues of the first and second axes in the two-dimensional ordination diagrams are as follows: CCA1: 0.59 and CCA2: 0.55. C: native vegetation soil, R: <i>Ricinus communis</i> soil, J: <i>Jatropa curcas</i> soil, MBC:.microbial biomass C, CRL: colonized root length, AS: aggregate stability, OC: organic C, N: total N, EC: electrical conductivity.</p
