The four aspatial scenarios for (a) raster_Inferred fire, (b) raster_mean fire, (c) vector_Inferred fire, (d) vector_mean fire, and (e) raster harvest. The “raster” scenarios use NFIS data during the satellite era (1985 - present), whereas the “vector” scenarios use the harmonized vector data. Bias-corrected aspatial data is used between 1918 and 1985 and differs depending upon whether raster or vector data was used during the satellite era. Before 1918, the “Inferred” scenarios are derived from 1920s stand age, whereas the “mean” repeats the 1920–1930 mean from 1918 to 1740. Again, the mean differs depending on whether raster or vector data is used during the satellite era. Raster harvest uses NFIS data during the satellite era, bias-corrected aspatial harvest between 1918 and 1985, and a linear decrease based upon the slope of the 1918–1990 aspatial trend after 1918.
