Table 1 Mean cover plus/minus standard deviation of plant functional groups that comprised the four dominant land-cover types prevailing before the 2015 Soda wildfire, and the alignment of each cover type to the most relevant fire-behavior fuel models from Scott and Burgan’s 40 (2005). The land-cover classes were established using unsupervised maximum likelihood classification (ArcMap) of vegetation cover maps (USDA Rangeland Analysis Platform). See Table 2 for accuracy of different blends of the candidate fuel models
