Germination (%) in the fire scenario and germination in the summer scenario.

<p>Relationship between the germination (%) after the treatment of 120°C for 5 minutes (Fire scenario, y-axis) and germination after the treatment simulating temperature fluctuations in the soil in open areas during August (Fig. 1; Summer scenario, x-axis). Intraspecific variability (i.e., among populations) is indicated by small symbols (mean population value) emerging from the large symbol (mean species value; F<i>umana thymifolia</i>, n = 2 populations; <i>Cistus salviifolius</i>, n = 6 populations; <i>Cistus albidus</i>, n = 4 populations; <i>Cistus parviflorus</i>, n = 1 population; <i>Cistus creticus</i>, n = 3 populations; <i>Ulex parviflorus</i>, n = 5 populations). The 1∶1 line is also shown (dotted line).
