Partial dependence plots depicting the effect of the five predictor variables on modeled annual wildfire probability. The primary (left) y-axis shows the mean predicted wildfire probability for a fixed level of a given predictor variable, and the secondary (right) y-axis shows the corresponding fire return interval (FRI). The black line shows the mean predicted fire probability across all combinations of values of the other predictor variables. The colored dashed (solid) lines show the mean predicted wildfire probability when one of the other predictor variables is held at its 20th (80th) percentile. The 9 tick marks above the x-axis show the 10th to 90th percentiles (in increments of 10); the darker tick marks are the 20th and 80th percentiles. The x-axes show a mean temperature, b annual precipitation, c proportion summer precipitation, d aboveground biomass of annual forbs and grasses, and e aboveground biomass of perennial forbs and grasses
