Fig. 3: Mean recovered areas by time since fire per continent.

a–f, Dots concern average share of recovered areas (%) for given time since fire (years) between 2001 and 2019 and per continent: Africa (a), Asia (b), Europe (c), North America (d), Oceania (e) and South America (f). Line expresses tendency of data by locally weighted smoothing; shaded area represents standard error with 0.95 confidence interval (ggplot2, RStudio). Recovered areas are defined as areas that achieve pre-fire vegetation cover conditions. RCOVER is determined for each continent following a single fire event and throughout the study period. Recurrent fires in the same pixel were removed from long-term assessment and reclassified as another event.
