Fire impact measures collected in 1 × 1 m2 quadrats near drains (DR), away from drains (UN), and in adjacent hummocks (HU) and hollows (HO) in the Forsinard (FD) and BigHouse (BH) sites within the 2019 Flow Country fire footprint for a peat Composite Burn Index (pCBI) estimated following Davies et al. (2016); b proportion of Sphagnum displaying evidence of discoloration; c proportion of Sphagnum displaying a loss of capitulum; d proportion of mosses other than Sphagnum with evidence of burning; e proportion of Moss survival; f proportion of vegetation showing signs of re-sprouting; g total cover of vegetation species recorded as “burnt”; and h estimation of Calluna vulgaris consumption from difference between burnt and unburnt plots. In plots a), b), c), e), g), and h), sites and/or quadrat types that do not share the same italicized letter(s) were found to have differences between using linear mixed models and post hoc tests
