Soil samples were
collected from the base of Aplectrumhymale individuals to assess mycorrhizal spores
abundance. The hypothesis that mycorrhizal spore abundance would increase with
proximity to the plant was not supported; however, spores increased significantly
with distance from the Aplectrumhymale plants up to one meter.
