A, B The Yosemite Forest Dynamics Plot (YFDP) is a 25.6-ha permanent study area in an old-growth Abies concolor–Pinus lambertiana forest in Yosemite National Park in the central Sierra Nevada, CA, USA. The YFDP was installed in 2009 and 2010 and burned at low to moderate severity in the 2013 Rim Fire. Stem maps (C) show the snag outcomes in 2018 for snags that existed before the fire (pre-fire) and snags that were created in or after the fire (post-fire). Stem diameters appear four times larger than their measured size. Only the top panel includes consumed snags because trees that were consumed in the fire never became snags
