Multidimensional scatter (MDS) plot for observed site burn severity classifications for 858 archeological sites sampled after five fires (2000 to 2011) in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, USA. Four designations of site burn severity (unburned, low, moderate, high) were obtained from post-fire assessments of archaeological sites and used to identify environmental predictors of burn severity using Random Forest. MDS projects the proximity matrix produced by Random Forest to a 2-dimensional space (Dim 1 and Dim 2), in which more similar observations appear closer together in the plot
