Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="jvs12212-abs-0002"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Wildfire and prescribed fire modify vegetation dynamics worldwide. Due to invasion of many ecosystems by exotic species, it is of concern whether fire alters plant communities in favor of exotics. Using meta‐analysis we show that native and exotic species assemblages differentially respond to both wildfire and prescribed fire and further assess how habitat type and time since fire mediate vegetation response.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" id="jvs12212-blkfxd-0001" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3m4856vq" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
