Post-overwintering response to microsite characteristics.

*indicates significance of p≤0.05.**indicates significance of p≤0.01.***indicates significance of p≤0.001.Generalized linear mixed-effects models were fit, using likelihood ratio tests to determine whether model fit was improved by including interactions. Where higher order interactions were present (such as analyses of germination for C. nutans), separate models were fit on clipped and fully disturbed plots. Larger microsite area generally led to increased survival and flowering probabilities. Full disturbance led to higher proportions flowering for C. nutans. Watering typically had no significant effect; in one case, it had a negative impact on C. acanthoides.
