(A) Percent canopy cover (all cover > 1.37 m high measured by densiometer), and (B) percent tall shrub cover (visually estimated within 5.6 m radius) by dNBR class on sites sampled in 2016 across the Taylor Complex fires (2004), Alaska, USA. Kruskal-Wallis chi-square and P-value shown above each plot. Boxplots show median, hinges (25th and 75th percentiles), and whiskers that extend to values that are no more than 1.5*IQR (inter-quartile range) from upper or lower hinge, respectively. Points outside this range are outliers and plotted separately. Dunn’s pairwise tests are indicated by letters (α = 0.1)
