Figure 4From: Using strategically applied grazing to manage invasive alien plants in novel grasslandsTrait diversity (i.e. leaf dry matter content, growth form and dispersal mode) versus species diversity (both calculated with Shannon’s diversity index) across three years of grazing exclusion and fertiliser treatments established to reduce the abundance of an IAP, Eragrostis curvula (unpublished data from Firn et al. 2010). Panel a) shows Leaf dry matter content, b) growth form and c) dispersal mode.
