Effects of time since fire and tree size class on pine pitch canker infection. a Model estimates of the proportion of trees infected per plot (N = 50) as a function of TSF (factor). Gray dots show the data points. b Model estimates of individual-tree probability of infection by pine pitch canker (Binomial presence/absence; n = 3225) as a function of tree size class. Colored dots show the proportion of trees in each size class infected by pine pitch canker in each plot (for visualizing tree size effects; n = 86), and the colors indicate time since fire. Large trees defined as >20.0cm DBH; small trees those between 12.5 and 20.0cm; saplings >1.37m in height and between 2.5-12.5cm DBH; and seedlings <1.37m in height and 2.5cm DBH. Boxes and arrows show the coefficient estimate ± 95% confidence interval
