38B. CORRELATION OF VAMCOLONIZATION WITH CHANGESIN PLANT PERCENT COVER, SOILMOISTURE PERCENT, AND pH INUNDISTURBED SAND DUNEAREASA one-way ANOVA and the generallinear model analysis were used to testfor differences in the effects of initialpercent cover, moisture percent, pH, andtheir interactions on mycorrhizalcolonization, as measured by a MIPbioassay of sand collected from theindividual June, July, and Augusttransects in undisturbed areas adjacent tothe active dunes and for the combineddata from the three transects (TABLES3, 4, 5, and 6).June transect data analyses (TABLE 3)showed that MIP values changedsignificantly (P < 0.01) with changes inthe initial percent cover (TABLE 3).MIP values did not significantly changewith initial soil moisture percent (P =0.065) or soil pH (P = 0.850). Changein percent cover had significant (P
