Contribution of each potential explanatory factor determining aboveground carbon density (ACD) in the Hawaiian Islands. Fractional canopy cover (FC), non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) cover, and bare surface cover (soils, rock, infrastructure) were derived from sub-30 m resolution Landsat-based satellite mapping of the islands (see [25]). Vegetation type was provided by the Hawaii State GAP vegetation map [34]. MFRI mean fire return interval; RFS replacement fire severity; LFS low fire severity; MFS mixed fire severity
