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.
