Trollope’s predicted fire intensity over time for three species at two grassland locations in South Africa, plus Festuca costata at Highmoor. Within each species for each sample date, fire intensity was predicted at two levels of fine dead fuel moisture—low and high—calculated as the second and fourth quantiles of observed moisture, respectively. Grey bar in background represents the predicted fire intensity based on the average fine dead fuel moisture of all species combined. Sampling period spans end of the growing season into late winter.
