Table 6 Root colonization (%) of AMF structures at four age groups of exclosure

From: Exclosures restored the density and root colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia

Age (year)	HC	MHC	AC	VC
< 10	57.0 ± 0.9d	39.9 ± 1.0d	23.7 ± 0.9d	10.3 ± 0.9d
10–20	65.8 ± 0.7c	55.5 ± 0.8c	37.3 ± 0.7c	23.3 ± 0.7c
20–30	74.0 ± 0.7b	68.9 ± 0.8b	51.7 ± 0.7b	39.7 ± 0.7b
> 30	82.7 ± 0.6a	78.4 ± 0.7a	60.7 ± 0.6a	50.7 ± 0.6a

Means in the same column followed by same letter do not differ significantly at P < 0.05, mean ± SEM
HC hyphal colonization, MHC mycorrhizal hyphal colonization, AC arbuscular colonization, VC vesicular colonization
