Cytisus cover and its associated spatial pattern (two-term local quadrat variance (TTLQV) and new local variance (NLV) as a function of scale) in transects 4 y after: (a) prescribed burning; (b) repeated prescribed burning; (c) wildfire in 20-year-old shrubs and (d) wildfire in 5-year-old shrubs. Since TTLQV and NLV values were similar between transects with the same treatment, results of only one selected transect per treatment are presented to facilitate interpretation. In Cytisus cover figures, black squares denote squares totally covered by Cytisus whereas white squares denote absence of Cytisus. The different gray fillings denote squares not totally occupied by Cytisus: from squares with high Cytisus surface occupation (dark gray) to squares with low Cytisus surface cover (light gray).
