The footprint of large wildfires on the multifunctionality of fire-prone pine ecosystems is driven by the interaction of fire regime attributes

Fire Ecology

Table 3 Test for significant differences between the Pearson correlations of each pair of functions/EMF among the three correlation matrices using the Zou’s confidence interval. The three correlation matrices correspond to intrinsic synergies and trade-offs (I), synergies and trade-offs driven by fire recurrence (R), and synergies and trade-offs driven by fire severity (S). If the Zou’s confidence interval (lower confidence interval (LCI) and upper confidence interval (UCI) does not include zero, the two correlations are significantly different
