From: Multitemporal lidar captures heterogeneity in fuel loads and consumption on the Kaibab Plateau
Time series of surface fuel loads derived from overlaying 2012 and 2019 predicted surface fuel load (TSF) maps with years since fire (YSF) grids created from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) database (1984–2019). Predicted surface fuel loads increased with years since fire, with asymptotes where fuel accumulation slowed at approximately 10–15 years post fire. Fit lines for three-parameter asymptotic models are shown as red lines. The number of 20-m pixels that went into each distribution is quantified in bars at the bottom of each panel
