Sites and experimental design. (a) Inset map shows the Great Lakes Region, Ontario, Canada. Main map shows the distribution of sampling sites by disturbance type and stand development stage. Scale bar shows 50 km increments. Adjacent table summarizes the years since disturbance and the number of sites sampled for each disturbance type. (b) Summary of community composition comparisons at each stand development stage to assess whether harvest and wildfire sites become more similar over time (convergence) and comparisons with the reference wildfire condition at the mature stand development stage to assess whether sites return to the natural post-wildfire successional endpoint (recovery). (c) Summary of community composition comparisons with the wildfire reference condition and comparison of harvest types at each stand development stage. Abbreviations: E = establishment, CC = crown closure, EST = early self-thinning, LST = late self-thinning, M = mature. © Stadia Maps © OpenMapTiles © OpenStreetMap © Stamen Design.
