Table III

Shift in the relative fruit body abundance of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal species and in the proportions per ecological category between the period before the thinning (1977–1986) and after the thinning (1987–2006) in plot 59 and in the non-thinned plots 47, 51, 54, 58. For this comparison only the species occurring in plot 59 were considered. J Increasing trend; I decreasing trend.
