Sampling plots each had five subplots. At each 1 m2 quadrat (black square), each understory plant was identified, and percent canopy cover of each species was ocularly estimated and recorded. Cover fractions of green vegetation, NPV, soil, and rock were also recorded. At each 5.6 m radius plot (circles), total tree seedling density was recorded, as well as total and yearly height growth on a subsample of seedlings. A total of 29 pairs were installed on six fires across the US Interior West in 2015 and 2016
