From: Vegetation, fuels, and fire-behavior responses to linear fuel-break treatments in and around burned sagebrush steppe: are we breaking the grass-fire cycle?

Fig. 4

Observed mean cover (± standard error) response of exotic annual grasses (EAG), perennial bunchgrasses (PBG), Sandberg bluegrass (POSE), exotic forbs and total standing herbaceous (total herb) fuels to fuel-break treatments compared to paired control plots. Colored “x” references the timing of fuel treatments relative to data collections (see also Table 1) and asterisks reference statistical significance (95% confidence interval). X-axis ticks are the year of measurement (fall), but symbols for control and fuel break at each time point are staggered on the X-axis value to minimize overlap (i.e., measurements were simultaneous)
