Table II
Mean annual numbers of fungal species and fruit bodies in plot 59 in the period before the thinning (1977–1986; n = 10) and after the thinning (1987–2006; n = 20) and in the 4 non-thinned control plots (47, 51, 54, 58). The data from plot 59 are given as the real data (59 real) and adjusted according to the shift in the control plots between the two periods (59 corr), as described in Materials and Methods. (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
