Bar plots showing taxonomic (i.e. species richness (q0) and Shannon’s diversity) (q1)) (above panels), functional (FSES.mpd) and phylogenetic (PSES.mpd) (below panels) diversity at the studied sites with respect to presence of nurse plants with grass (Elymus hispidens), herb (Phlomis cancellata) and shrub (Lonicera nummulariifolia) growth forms and different times since last fire. Variation in taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic indices across times since last fire and presence of nurse types were measured via linear mixed effect models. The marginal adjusted R2 shows the variation explained by the fixed factors in our statistical models (mR2adj. are shown in each case). Significant treatment effects shown from two-way linear mixed-effects models on the effects of the time since last fire (TF), presence/absence of nurse type (N) treatments and their interactions (TF x N) are shown in the graphs. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.0001
