Inoculation with AMF did not result in changes in root - shoot ratios.Veresoglou et al. (2012) noted that mycorrhizal plants had a lower root –shoot ratio than non-mycorrhizal plants because plants outsourceacquisition of nutrients and water to their fungal partner, reducing theneed for investment in root biomass. However, as noted by Kuyper et al.(2021), mycorrhizal plants are usually larger than non-mycorrhizalplants, and such ontogenetic shifts could also result in changes in root– shoot ratio, and the shift may not be significant after allometriccorrection.
