Figure 3

Plots of the GAM smooth functions for spatial pattern metrics that were generally related to fire size (P < 0.2). The y-axis is scaled by the smooth function of x. Dotted lines are 95 % confidence intervals. Residuals are indicated with dots, and fire name labels are located at the lower right of the residual of interest, with the exception of Cerro Grande and Quartz. Although composition of burn severity (PLAND) and three aspects of burn severity configuration (AREA_AM, CLUMPY, and CAI_AM) generally increased with fire size, some fires deviated from this trend, e.g., the Saddle Mountain Fire.
