N2  - The root system of ryegrass was more efficient than that of white clover in stabilizing aggregates of Lemnos loam because ryegrass supported a larger population of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphae in the soil. Electron micrographs show that the hyphae were covered with a layer of amorphous material, probably polysaccharide, to which clay particles appear firmly attached.
