Figure 7From: Variation in tree mortality and regeneration affect forest carbon recovery following fuel treatments and wildfire in the Lake Tahoe Basin, California, USAMortality 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.Back to article page
