Abstract
⺠We investigate how resource availability affects the legume-rhizobia mutualism. ⺠In low nutrient, high light environments, rhizobia increased mean plant biomass. ⺠When plants were light-limited, the net growth benefits to plants were reduced. ⺠Light limitation also reduced rhizobia growth. ⺠Benefits to both mutualism partners depend on the availability of traded resources.
