Radiata pine seedlings were grown under controlled conditions with equivalent total N supplied either as inorganic fertilizer or an amino-acid–based biostimulant. We measured morphological traits (height, collar diameter, biomass), needle chlorophyll and fluorescence, hormone profiles, and root fungal communities (ITS2 amplicon sequencing + DADA2/phyloseq analysis). Integrative gradient-boosting modelling identified key fungal taxa driving biomass responses.
