*Fruit production was observed for these species outside the time frame of the sampling period or in unsampled plots.
**`A`ali`i was established by artificially seeding plots in the burns. Individuals were reproductively mature at the time of the last sampling.

Figure 2. Seedling recruitment (all size classes) in seeded and unseeded plots located in fire-affected `ohi`a woodlands, Broomsedge Burn.
Figure 3. Average native and alien plant abundance three years after the Broomsedge Burn. Reported are average absolute plant cover and standard errors in plots located in the once burn (Broomsedge 2000), twice burn (Namakani Paio 1977, Broomsedge Burn 2000), and adjacent unburned. Treatments that share the same letter do not differ significantly (Tukey test)
