  abstract = {{F}ive caesalpinioid legumes, {A}fzelia africana, {A}fzelia bella, {A}nthonotha macrophylla, {C}ryptosepalum tetraphylum and {P}aramacrolobium coeruleum, and one {E}uphorbiaceae species, {U}apaca somon, with a considerable range in seed sizes, exhibited different responses to inoculation by four species of ectomycorrhizal ({ECM}) fungi, {S}cleroderma dictyosporum, {S}. verrucosum, {P}isolithus sp. and one thelephoroid sp. in greenhouse conditions. {T}helephoroid sp. efficiently colonized seedlings of all of the five caesalpinioid legumes except {U}. somon, but provided no more growth benefit than the other fungi. {T}helephoroid sp. and {S}. dictyosporum colonized seedlings of {U}. somon poorly, but stimulated plant growth more than the other fungi. {T}he relative mycorrhizal dependency ({RMD}) values of the caesalpinioid legumes were never higher than 50%, whilst {U}. somon had {RMD} values ranging from 84.6 to 88.6%, irrespective of the fungal species. {T}he {RMD} values were negatively related to seed mass for all plant species. {P}otassium concentrations in leaves were more closely related than phosphorus to the stimulation of seedling biomass production by the {ECM} fungi. {O}ur data support the hypothesis that {A}frican caesalpinioid legumes and euphorbe tree species with smaller seeds show higher {RMD} values than those with the larger seeds.},
