Figure 3
Maximum and mean temperatures vs. fuel moisture level. The two rows are presented with different scales on the y-axis. Fuel load levels represent 1 m2 of forest floor at the 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90th percentiles (approximately 4.76, 8.62, 11.81, 15.92, and 23.09 Mg· ha−1) of estimates of litter, 1-hr, and 10-hr fuels in southeastern Ohio mixed-oak forests. Fuel moisture levels refer to percent moisture by weight. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
