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.
