Mortality rates used in sensitivity analysis. Mortality rates by diameter class used to define each of five mortality scenarios used in sensitivity analysis. Mortality rates in scenarios 1,2,4 and 5 were directly estimated from CSE plots in field assigned fire severity classes 2,3,4 and 5. We decided to create a central fifth mortality class (with an overall mortality rate of 68.5%) by averaging observed mortality rates in severity classes 3 and 4, to avoid a large discontinuity in our sensitivity analysis.
