From: A review of fire effects across South American ecosystems: the role of climate and time since fire
Weighted-mean effect sizes and 95% bias-corrected confidence intervals of fire on plant fitness from studies published between 1990 and 2019 that were used in the review of fire effects across South American ecosystems to determine the role of climate and time since fire. (A) Effect sizes within growth forms and early and late post-fire time. (B) Effect sizes of vegetative and reproductive fitness within growth forms. (C) Effect sizes of vegetative (-veget) and reproductive (-reprod) fitness within growth forms and early (-early) and late (-late) post-fire time. Parameters with confidence intervals that do not overlap the vertical dotted line (Hedge’s d = 0) are considered to have a significant positive or negative effect. Sample sizes for each category are shown in parentheses. The size of each black dot is proportional to its weight or contribution to the overall mean calculation. Asterisks (*) denotes a significant difference (Q-between [Qb] statistics) among categories (*** = P < 0.0001; * = P < 0.05)
