Fig 1.
Means ±SE of cover of herbaceous native plant species (A) and invasive plant species (B), and richness of native plant species (C) and invasive plant species (D) across restoration and grazing types.
Table 1.
Final models of all response variables with AIC values and AIC values of full model (all factors and all interactions included) for comparison.
Explanatory variables include: Type (active, passive or no restoration); Graze (absence or presence of grazing); Age (number of years after the restoration project has been implemented); Species (number of species planted for restoration). All models included a random factor of quadrat nested within plot, plot nested within transect, and transect nested within replicate.
Fig 2.
Relationships between site age and percent cover of (A) grasses in passive restoration sites, (B) forbs in passive sites, (C) grasses in active sites, and (D) forbs in active restoration sites.
Fig 3.
Relationships between site age and species richness of (A) grasses in passive restoration sites, (B) forbs in passive sites, (C) grasses in active sites, and (D) forbs in active restoration sites.
