From: Fire Frequency, Area Burned, and Severity: A Quantitative Approach to Defining a Normal Fire Year
There is no temporal trend in number of fires >40 ha, area burned by fires >40 ha, and severity distributions of fires >40 ha in the Yosemite study area between the years of 1984 and 2009. Points shown in red indicate years with low snowpack (sensu Lutz et al. 2009a) and points shown in blue represent years with high snowpack. The scale of the study area (4771 km2) is likely too small to discern statistically significant temporal trends.
