Fig. 4: Prevalence of lab-identified traits in field community data 1 and 5 yr post-fire.
a–c, Total relative abundance of lab-identified (a) fire-surviving, (b) fast-growing and (c) post-fire environment-affinity taxa in field data at 1 yr (left) and 5 yr (right) post-fire vs burn severity index (n = 66 field soil samples). Linear models including interaction terms between years since the fire and burn severity index were used to test for a significant correlation between burn severity and total relative abundance of all taxa within a given trait. If the interaction was not significant, results from the model are reported without the interaction.
