(i) Variability in the richness of blooming plant species (a1) and in the abundance of blooming plants (a2) in cropland habitats (a) during each of the four rounds of data collection conducted across the four flower farms (data are means of five transects); (ii) variability in the richness of blooming plant species (a1) and in the abundance of blooming plants (a2) in grassland habitats (b) during each of the four rounds of data collection conducted across the four flower farms (data are means of five transects) during four rounds of data collection from 2010 to 2012. Concerning the pattern (trend) in the raw data collected, it was observed that across the four sampling rounds (R1 to R4), there were significant differences (Tukey test at ) in the number of blooming plant species and in the % cover of mass blooming plants/transect. Either in cropland or in grassland habitats, within each sampling round, overlapping error bars indicate no significant (Tukey test at ) differences between consecutives flower farms; Error bars are ± SE.
