Fig. 6

Live canopy fuels (A-D) and Torching and Crowning Indices (E, F) at three timesteps (pre-drought, 2016 and 2019) on the Los Padres and Sierra National Forests (NF). Grey circles are plot-level indices with gradient indicating mortality (total) percent. Site means and standard errors are in black. Solid and dashed red lines indicate average wind speeds and average wind gusts (km hr.−1), respectively, during fire season. Note variable scales between sites. Letters indicate significant differences between timesteps (p < 0.05; Friedman test with Wilcoxon signed-rank test for pairwise comparisons)
