Table 7 Best predictor variables for invasive species occurring in more than 10% of the wildfire sites in Montana, Idaho, and Washington, USA, that burned in July and August between 2003 and 2007. Abbreviations for predictor variables are: sprp = spring precipitation, dNBR = burn severity index, mmin = mean minimum temperature of the coldest month, map = mean annual precipitation, and winp = winter precipitation. xR² is the cross-validated R². Bootstrap xR² is the average fit of 100 models run with the selected predictors and associated standard error (SE). N is the average number of sites contributing to the model estimate at each point on the modeled surface. The tolerance value indicates how broadly a given point estimate is influenced by the surrounding sample space. Sensitivity ranges from 0 to 1 and indicates the relative importance of each predictor in the model
