Table 1 Relationships between climate variables and percent of area burned (top) and total area burned (bottom) for the six primary land cover types in the study area. An ‘H’ indicates that either a greater percent of area or total area burned associated with comparatively higher values for the top portion of the resampled data (e.g., relatively higher temperature or longer fire length), while an ‘L’ indicates a greater percent of area or greater total area burned associated with comparatively lower values. Bold letters in grey boxes indicate a significant difference at the 95 % level. See Figure 4 for a visual representation.
