Model selection results based on generalized least squares mixed effects models of per-capita mortality rates.

<p>The seven models represent three alternative hypotheses and the four possible combinations of these hypotheses. Models are listed in order of rank. Shown are the maximized log likelihoods (L.L), number of parameters (K), , , and the relative model weights (w). Predictors were three year running average summer temperature (temp), three year running average Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), and stand age since fire (age).</p

Live cover of <i>C. greggii</i>.

<p>Shown are means and standard deviations of 10 5×5 m plots at each elevation.</p

Live <i>C. greggii</i> cover and density relative to live and dead totals.

<p>Panel A shows the proportion of living stems to total number of stems (mean se). Panel B shows proportional contribution of live cover to total cover (mean se).</p

<i>C. greggii</i> density by elevation.

<p>Shown are mean densities standard errors for 10 5×5 m plots per elevation.</p

<i>C. greggii</i> per-capita mortality rates over time at five elevations.

<p>Vertical lines indicate year of stand establishment estimated from live stem ages. Fitted curves are loess curves <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031173#pone.0031173-Cleveland1" target="_blank">[33]</a> for overall illustration and estimation of year of peak mortality. The models that we considered are described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031173#pone-0031173-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a> and we used logit-transformed mortality rates. Stand age at peak mortality were estimated by loess smoothing (span = 0.75) from low to high elevation were: 45,50,40,56, and 48.</p
