  1. N/A refers to comparisons that were not applicable
  2. The lmer package (from the lme4 package) was used to determine differences in response due to a trimming treatment and between root areas (for mycorrhizal measures), including their interaction. Rootstock included as a random factor, not shown due to lack of interaction. Italicized values indicate significance at p = 0.05
