Abstract The effect of P applications and mycorrhizal inoculation on the growth and P nutrition of Anthyllis cytisoides L. (Fabaceae) and Brachypodium retusum (Pers.) Beauv. (Poaceae) was studied. Both plants are widely distributed and well adapted to semi-arid habitats in southern Spain. In all treatments, even with high P doses, mycorrhizal plants showed a higher concentration of phosphorus in their tissues than non-mycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal inoculation enhanced the growth of the plants when no P was applied. At high P addition, non-mycorrhizal plants showed higher growth than mycorrhizal plants. The response of each plant type to P application was somewhat different.
