Table 3.

Pearson correlations coefficient between the additive allele effects for the named traits measured in single plants in mixed stands and the change in allele frequency from FND to the average allele frequency at generation 10 (overall), and to the allele frequency at each location; *, **, *** denote significant correlation at P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.001, respectively; ns indicates non-significance (P > 0.05).
