Methods

The data are % covers of species in 5 x 5 m plots, each value is an average from 5 replicates Year of succession - in 1990, four sites for each habitat (plots vs mounds) were chosen and their age identified based on the year when they were scraped (bulldozed) and the scraped material was heaped (to form the mounds). Based on space for time substitution approach, the age was 1, 4, 5 and 15 years since the beginning of succession. Then in 1995, three of the sites were resampled after 5 years, providing data for age of 6, 10, and 20 years.
