Mean live fine fuel moisture (LFFM) (%) of the three regenerative strategies [seeder (S), resprouter (R) and seeder–resprouter (SR)], in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Vertical bars denote 0·95 confidence intervals. Post hoc Fisher's l.s.d. significant differences (P < 0·05) are indicated with different letters. Upper case letters (A, B, C) indicate differences between seasons: lower case letters (a, b, c) indicate differences between seasons for a given strategy. All the species (except C. salviifolius) are included.
