Figure 3

Graphs show relationships between CBI field measures of severity and the dNBR, i.e. the change detected by Landsat. Total plot scores average all rating factors over all 5 strata on the plot, the substrate mean is one of 5 strata integrated into the total plot score, and the exposed soil rating is one of 5 factors averaged into the substrate mean. General disaggregation of fire effects tends to lessen correlation to the 30-m dNBR (to the right), such that individual effects are less reliably predicted at 30-m than are other composite measures of site severity.
