Fig. 2: Fires out of their historical temporal range affect plant species recruitment.
From: Success of post-fire plant recovery strategies varies with shifting fire seasonality
Results of subgroup meta-analysis investigating the effects of climate type, plant functional group and vegetation type for comparisons of a recruitment b reproduction and c survival between fires within the historical fire season and fires outside the historical fire season. Modelled mean effects and 95% confidence intervals around the mean presented. Negative Hedges’ g-values represent increased effects following fires in historical fire seasons relative to fires outside historical fire seasons. Positive Hedges’ g-values represent increased effects following fires outside historical fire seasons relative to fires in historical fire seasons, coloured points represent studies within 95% CI of pooled effect size estimate and non-coloured points have been identified as outliers and excluded from analysis. N represents the sample size in each of the subgroup comparisons, numbers within parenthesis adjacent to N numbers indicate number of outliers that were identified within each analysis. Bold text indicates subgroups with significant effects. Studies where species responses were reported without reporting response traits we characterised as “unspecified”.
