- agroecologist · plausible
“AM fungi forming mutualistic hyphal networks extending centimeters beyond Trifolium roots is well-documented; 11 cm hyphal spread in pot experiments is within reported literature ranges.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“AMF external hyphae extending ~11 cm from roots is well-documented; Glomaceae colonizing Trifolium is taxonomically consistent and biologically standard.”
