Species richness boxplots and rank incidence graph.

Boxplots illustrating species richness in control and disturbed plots (48 plots per treatment) for 2010 (A), 2011 (B), and 2012 (C). Boxes represent the 25th to 75th percentiles of the data, and whiskers represent the 10th and 90th percentiles. Points above and below the box represent the 5th and 95th percentile outliers. Graphs showing rank incidence for the control and disturbed plots in 2010 (D), 2011 (E), and 2012 (F). Black circles represent incidence rankings for the control treatment, and grey circles represent incidence rankings for the disturbed treatment. Species richness did not differ between treatments or across years.
