Partial dependence plots from RF of post-fire seedling regeneration density for the three main driver variables: a slope, b fire severity, c distance to seed trees. A partial dependence plot shows the effect of a particular predictor on the response variable after integrating the effect of the rest of the predictors. The blue line indicates the average value over individual marginal effects of the variables, while the gray ribbon indicates the standard deviation of individual marginal effects. b Dotted vertical lines indicate thresholds for fire severity classes (Morresi et al. 2022)
