Objectives
Investigate the Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community within symptomatic and asymptomatic kauri as well as other fungal endophytes.
Outcomes
There were differences in the AMF community between two asymptomatic sites, as well as differences between summer and winter (seasonality effects). There was also a difference in the AMF community between symptomatic and asymptomatic kauri trees.
