Sample conditional inference decision trees show how variables related to hydrology and management practice predicted time to visible re-sprouting as seen in Landsat imagery. Z scores represent relative dryness, negative values indicate drier years, and positive values indicate wetter years. A) The TYPE variables indicate whether fires were planned and implemented by management (pm) or naturally ignited and either suppressed (us), discovered out (ud), or allowed to burn (um). B) Days2Min measures time from the end of the fire to yearly water minimum, estimated using EDEN.
