Facilitation of American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) Seedling Establishment by Pinus virginiana in Mine Restoration

Table 3

Species sampled from pure American and backcrossed chestnut after two field seasons. Species are recorded with their percent abundance, habitat type plot from where they were sampled (C : center, FE : forest edge, and P : pine plot), whether they were found on the roots of adjacent P. virginiana and published GenBank accessions.
