From: A review of fire effects across South American ecosystems: the role of climate and time since fire
Number of fire responses (i.e., effect sizes) for the studied response and moderator variables across South American ecosystems. Panels A through D show the number of fire responses for biodiversity, abundance, and fitness across: (A) taxa groups (plants, fungi, invertebrates [Invert.], and vertebrates [Verteb.]); (B) plant growth forms (forbs, grasses, shrubs, and trees); (C) climate types (humid-warm, humid-cold, dry, semiarid); and (D) post-fire time (early and late). Panels E and F show the number of fire responses across different soil properties: bulk density, litter, organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (Total N), nitrogen available (N avail.), phosphorous (P), micro nutrients, pH, and salinity for: (E) climate types and (F) post-fire time. The studies used in the review of fire effects across South American ecosystems to determine the role of climate and time since fire were published between 1990 and 2019
