Impacts of fire severity and cattle grazing on early plant dynamics in old-growth Araucaria-Nothofagus forests

Forest Ecosystems

Table 3 Density of Araucaria araucana and Nothofagus pumilio along the fire severity gradient for each year of study

Year	Araucaria araucana Mean abund. (ind.∙ha⁻¹) ± SE			Nothofagus pumilio Mean abund. (ind.∙ha^− 1) ± SE
Year	LS	MS	HS	LS	MS	HS
2016	160 ± 40	160 ± 68	120 ± 97	4680 ± 2207	360 ± 360	0
2017	360 ± 186	160 ± 68	240 ± 144	7160 ± 3344	360 ± 360	0
2018	580 ± 318	380 ± 174	240 ± 150	8000 ± 3734	460 ± 460	0

Note that the abundance of A. araucana and N. pumilio in the unburned forest (UN) was 2120 and 3680 ind.∙ha⁻¹, respectively
