NMDS ordination of tree communities based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities between sites, based on total basal areas of each ECM trees species separately and all non-ECM trees combined. The nine sites were classified into two distinct woodland types, woodlands in red and gallery forests in blue. Site abbreviations: Bissandougou Forest Reserve (BISS-W), Moussaya Forest Reserve (MOUS-W), Kota Waterfall (KOTA-G and KOTA-W), Kouadianikro Forest Reserve (KDNK-W), Kou Forest Reserve (KOUF-G), Niangoloko Forest Reserve (NIAN-W) and Farako Forest Reserve (FA01-W and FA15-W). ECM tree species abbreviations: Afzelia africana (Aa), Ac: Anthonotha crassifolia (Ac), Bg: Berlinia grandiflora (Bg), Id: Isoberlinia doka (Id), I. tomentosa (It), Monotes kerstingii (Mk), Uapaca guineensis (Ug) and Uapaca togoensis (Ut).
