Extended Data Fig. 2: Postfire biogeophysical and surface energy flux changes for summer (red, June–August), winter (blue, December–February) and the annual time scale (gray) one year after fire for northern forests (40°N–70°N).
From: Forest fire size amplifies postfire land surface warming
Postfire changes in land surface temperature (ΔT) (a), outgoing longwave radiation (ΔLWout) (b), surface albedo (Δα) (c), reflected shortwave radiation (ΔSWout) (d), ecosystem evapotranspiration (ΔET) (e), latent heat flux (ΔLE) (f), the sum of sensible and ground heat fluxes (Δ(H + G)) (g), and net radiation (ΔRn) (h) were derived for each 2° grid cell with more than 10% forest coverage. Boxplots show the statistical distributions of the values for 2° grid cells. The center line of the boxplots represents the median value, with the box limits indicating upper and lower quartiles and whiskers showing 1.5 × interquartile range. Figure developed using the Python open-source tools.
