Table 5 Sample size information by vegetation type and treatment including the number of units and vegetation plots. Treatments included an untreated control (control), hand thinned, mastication only (mast), mastication and prescribed burning (mast + burn), and prescribed burn only (burn only). Vegetation types included chaparral- or oak-dominated types. Note: one sample block was split to include both vegetation types, otherwise blocks were separated by vegetation type
