Figure 7

The inter-annual mean dRI for the four vegetation classes used (DSFg [driest], DSFs, WSFs, and RF [wettest]) for each burned subcatchment (Burke River, Erskine Creek, Glenbrook Creek, and Nattai River) and unburned subcatchment (Grose River, Kedumba River, and Kowmung River). The dashed horizontal bands (pre-fire 95^th and 5^th percentiles) illustrate the stability of the index through time in the unburned subcatchments and the relatively rapid recovery of burned subcatchments to within the pre-fire parameters after the 2001/02 wildfire. The 95% confidence intervals around each point in time account for the variability in data.
