Size Dependency of Post-Disturbance Recovery of Multi-Stemmed Resprouting Trees
Figure 2
Ratio of resprout stem number to pre-coppicing stem number.
In the boxplots, the solid and dotted bars represent the median and mean, respectively; the lower and upper bars represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The lower and upper “whiskers” show the largest and smallest values that are not outliers and the lower and upper dots show the 5th and 95th percentiles. Kruskal-Wallis Χ2 = 20.03, P = 0.001; different letters indicate significant differences among species. The dashed line indicates where the number of resprouts equals the number of stems pre-coppicing.
