Table 3c Pre-fire and post-fire conditions for six combinations of for leaf color (PFA) for % dry/green leaves, optical thickness, chlorophyll content, brown pigment content, water content, and dry matter content. Simulations were conducted by subtracting each post-fire condition from the corresponding pre-fire condition.
