Fig. 3From: Long-term vegetation response following post-fire straw mulchingPlant diversity and species richness differences for mulched and unmulched plot pairs on six fires across the US Interior West in 2015 and 2016; data are displayed as box plots of differences between values for plot pairs. Any point above the zero line represents a higher value on the mulched plot, while a value below the line is a higher value on the unmulched plot of the pair. A Differenced plant species diversity for mulched and unmulched plot pairs on each fire. B Differenced species richness (number of plant species) for plot pairs on each fire. Circles represent suspected outliers, datapoints beyond 1.5 times the interquartile rangeBack to article page
