Probability values from analysis of variance in blocks with permutation test obtained for functional measures of spider community between control and burned plots at different sampling dates before and after fire (a.f.). For CWM_all traits the analysis was multivariate. In case of significant differences, positive or negative effects of fire are showed in brackets.
