Fig. 3From: Short-term recovery of post-fire vegetation is primarily limited by drought in Mediterranean forest ecosystemsBoxplot of importance values (percentage increase in mean square error) of predictor variables for 5 years post-fire vegetation recovery in the western Mediterranean basin. The black line inside the boxes is the median of importance value across the 500 bootstrap random forest models for a all aridity areas analyzed together, and b semi-arid, sub-humid, and humid areas analyzed separately.
