Figure A3. These plots illustrate the effect of home- and
away-conditioned soils and whether the soil is sterilized (S) or live
(L) on the total biomass of (a) Andropogon gerardi (ANGE), (b)Schizachyrium scoparium (SCSC), (c) Bromus inermis (BRIN),
and (d) Pascopyrum smithii (PASM). Top of each figure: Effects
plot showing the difference in means between home and away soils and
sterilization status of those soils. The horizontal black bars show 95%
confidence intervals of the effects. The horizontal dashed line shows
where there is no difference between groups, a 95% confidence interval
that crosses this dashed line indicates no significant difference in the
effects of contrasting pairs of treatment groups. The x-axis scale is
log10(biomass, mg). The Y-axis lists the contrasts
between each pairing of treatment types. Bottom of each figure: This
portion of each plot shows the modeled response to each treatment pair,
where the large solid dot is the mean and the vertical bars are the
modeled 95% confidence intervals. Dots illustrate the raw data for each
treatment combination. Blue indicates live (L) soils and orange
indicates soils that were sterilized (S).
