Fig 2 .  Impact of fire on relative species richness (species richness in burnt sites divided by richness in the control sites a) Trees/Shrubs (Non-Protected (n =34), Protected (n = 46), b) Forbs: FGS (n = 5), TSCF (n = 2), TSDBF (n =12), TSGSS (n = 40), TSMBF (n = 2) and c) Climbers (Non-prescribed (n =33), Prescribed (n =27). The error bars represent the 95% confidence interval. The dotted lines represent a relative species richness of 1, i.e., equal species richness in both burnt and unburnt plots.
