Relative growth rates (±95% confidence interval) of resprouting plants based on the change in height from pre fire to one year post fire across all species groups (n = 287), from data collected during examination of the effect of prescribed fire on Florida vegetation. Thirteen prescribed fires at Archbold Biological Station, from 2006 to 2010, occurred either during the wet (late June to October), dry (November to early April), or fire (late April to late June) season. A linear mixed effect model indicated that there was a significant interaction between burning in the wet season and ericads (P = 0.008)
