Fig. 2: Amplification of fire size on biogeophysical changes after fire.
From: Forest fire size amplifies postfire land surface warming
a–d, Linear regression models, of the form y = α + β × log10[fire size], were fitted in 2° grid cells with a minimum of 10 fires, where y stands for the changes in summer (June–August) surface albedo (Δα) (a), summer ecosystem ET (ΔET) (b), summer LAI (ΔLAI) (c) and forest mortality (as a percentage; d), all for one year after fire. Both solid and empty dots indicate pixels with locally significant regressions (P < 0.05, two-tailed t-test), but the solid dots indicate those having passed a more rigorous field significance test corrected for the FDR (αFDR = 0.10; Methods). Extended Data Figs. 1 and 7 show the spatial distribution of the mean value of postfire changes for these variables. Figure developed using Python open-source tools.
