Relationships between fire occurrence (proportion of 16-km2 pixel burned) and predictor variables in the random forest model, shown using partial dependence plots. Variables are in order of importance from top left to bottom right (see Fig. 5). For details on the variables, see Table 1. Potential Natural Vegetation (PNV) classes are as follows: A = Afroalpine vegetation, Bd = Somalia-Masai Acacia-Commiphora deciduous bushland and thicket, Bds = Acacia-Commiphora stunted bushland, D = desert, E = montane Ericaceous belt, Fa = Afromontane rain forest, Fb/Be/wd = complex of Afromontane undifferentiated forest with wooded grasslands and evergreen or semi-evergreen bushland and thicket at lower margins, Fe = Afromontane moist transitional forest, R = riverine wooded vegetation, S = Somalia-Masai semi-desert grassland and shrubland, Wcd = dry combretum wooded grassland, Wdk = upland Acacia wooded grassland, We = Acacia tortilis wooded grassland and woodland, X = freshwater swamp, w = water bodies, wd = edaphic wooded grassland on drainage-impeded or seasonally flooded soils, Z = halophytic vegetation, Zw = lakes with Halophytic shoreline vegetation
