Standardized values of wildfire response metrics plotted by treatment timing for selected multi-year simulation studies testing landscape-scale fuel treatment effectiveness in the USA and Canada. Each study had an untreated scenario and two or more treatment scenarios that differed in how treatments were applied over time while other variables were kept consistent. Y axis labels denote prescription type (mech=mechanical, burn=prescribed burning) and relative treatment extent (number of + symbols) during early and later phases of a simulation (left and right of ellipsis, respectively). Vertical panels indicate wildfire type (overall, damaging, beneficial). Points connected by lines are multi-year mean values of different timing schemes for a given landscape/study, omitting untreated scenarios, color-coded by landscape
