Differenced normalized burn ratio (dNBR), an index of burn severity following wildfire, showing increases along a successional gradient from sagebrush to mature juniper in a western juniper and low sagebrush (Juoc/Arar) association as well as a western juniper and mountain big sagebrush (Juoc/Artr) association. Prefire successional stages are as follows: S1 = open sagebrush, S2 = closed sagebrush, and juniper expansion phase P1 = phase I, P2 = phase II, P3 = phase III, and M = Mature juniper.
