A Map of the study area, Gariwerd, Australia, with time since the last fire shown (1939–2020). B An inset of fire severity mapped for a single fire from 2013. In panel A, study sites are represented in yellow for high severity (severity classes 4, high canopy scorch; 5, canopy completely consumed) and blue for low severity (severity class 2, low canopy scorch). Grey areas show the native vegetation with no fires recorded. Stars indicate regional town centers. The right panel (B) shows an example of the fire severity variation for a 2013 fire. Severity classes are shown on a scale from 0 to 5 (0, outside the mapped fire perimeter; 1, unburnt within the fire perimeter; 2, low canopy scorch (understory burnt, < 20% of canopy scorched); 3, moderate canopy scorch (understory burnt, 20–80% of canopy scorched); 4, high canopy scorch (understory burnt, > 80% of canopy scorched); 5, canopy completely consumed). Horizontal striping in the severity map is due to a commonly occurring Landsat 7 line scan error
