Figure 3: Variance components and fitted relationships between
the cover of slow invaders and experimental treatments.Left panel (a): Variance components for the
best-performing model of slow invader cover (log-transformed). Point
estimates are set on a standard deviation scale and represent the
medians of the posterior distributions. Bars present 95% (wide) and
68% (narrow) intervals. Variance components were produced through
Bayesian multilevel modelling. Right panels (b-e):Fitted relationships between slow invader cover and b) seeding with fast
invaders; c) growth season (separated by successional stage); d)
successional stage (separated by disturbance treatment) and e) growth
season (separated by seed dose) Envelopes represent 95% confidence
intervals. Points represent partial residuals. Relationships are fitted
from the best performing linear mixed-effects models.
