Description of the data and file structure

Plant community composition data were collected between 2018 and 2021  in Long Pine Key in Everglades National Park. Submodules were sampled 8-12 months after the prescribed burn. Composition is measured as percent cover in 1m² submodules for a total of 272 submodules. 

We measured leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) for five healthy, sun-exposed individuals of each species between July and August 2021. Samples were taken from submodules representing each species’ primary habitat. LA was determined by scanning leaves in ImageJ; SLA (mm² mg⁻¹) and LDMC (%) were calculated from saturated and oven-dried masses. Trait values were averaged per species.

Shoot-level flammability traits (ignitability, maximum burn temperature, sustainability, and consumability) were measured for five individuals per species using a burning apparatus at 150 °C, following established protocols. Samples were preheated, ignited with a blowtorch for 10 s, and traits recorded using visual estimates, infrared thermometry, and burn duration measurements. Trait values were averaged per species. Missing data code: NA

Code/software

We used R software version 4.2.3. Packages required to run the analyses include the glmmTMB, DHARMa, and ternary. We also used tidyverse and ggplot for easy functionality. To calculate the CSR life history values, we used the StrateFY excel spreadsheet.
