Mean seedling densities (seedlings ha-1) prior to treatment (2009 to 2012) and two years after the last prescribed fire (2018) for all seedlings and the seven most abundant species (post treatment) at the three oak restoration study sites on the southern Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee, USA. The height of the bar is the mean, and the whiskers at the end of each bar represent 1.0 standard error. SA = sassafras, QU = Quercus spp., RC = winged sumac, AR = red maple, PT = loblolly pine, LT = yellow-poplar, OA = sourwood. Asterisks (*) indicate significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between pre- and post-treatment values for winged sumac, loblolly pine, yellow-poplar, and sourwood. The P-values were estimated from a bootstrapped non-linear regression analysis. We did not detect any significant differences in pre- versus post-treatment densities for total seedlings or the other species
