(a) The Yosemite Forest Dynamics Plot (YFDP) is located in the Sierra Nevada Ecoregion of California, USA, (b) within Yosemite National Park. (c) Locations of sample points and planar transects for pre-fire and post-fire fuel measurements in the YFDP, which were run within the plot, parallel to plot boundaies. Fuel transects were measured in June 2011, before the 2013 Rim Fire, and after the fire in June 2014. Locations of P. lambertiana ≥25 cm DBH are shown in gray points, with trees where litter and duff mounds were sampled in red. Pre-fire measurements of duff mounds were taken in August 2013, and the post-fire fuel measurements were taken in June 2014. One sampled-tree duff mound was located just outside the western edge of the plot, and is not shown. Green lines represent a LiDAR-derived 5 m contour interval
