Table 1 Number of impact and reference plots sampled by study site and vegetation type. Data are presented as number of plots sampled before the fire followed by number of plots sampled after the fire, in brackets. Both the Elliot and Cedar sites burned completely and thus do not contain reference plots. We collected pre-burn data at Rancho Jamul only.

  1. a Impact refers to all plots burned in the 2003 fires.
  2. b Reference refers to all plots not burned in the 2003 fires.
  3. c For multivariate analysis, NR (non-razed) refers to all unburned plots (pre-fire, post-fire reference, pre-fire impact). R (razed) refers to all burned plots (post-fire impact).
