Fire frequency, agricultural history and the multivariate control of pine savanna understorey plant diversity

Question Human‐altered disturbance regimes and agricultural land uses are broadly associated with reduced plant species diversity in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we seek to understand how fire frequency and agricultural land‐use history influence savanna understorey plant diversity through complex relationships (i.e. indirect effects) among multiple biophysical variables.
