Modelling the disappearance of coarse woody debris, following a land clearing event

Table 6 The typical number of years for 95% of CWD to disappear, as predicted by Model 7 (Table 5), for exemplar combinations of clearing method (c), bioregion (b), and the number of times burned (g)

c	b	g	Number of years	\(\propto\)	N
Intermediate	Brigalow Belt South	0	38 (5)	0.091	0.891
Fast	Brigalow Belt South	1	22 (4)	0.213	1.325
Slow	Brigalow Belt South	0	68 (24)	0.057	3.828
Intermediate	Brigalow Belt North	0	31 (4)	0.117	0.846
Intermediate	Mulga Lands	0	53 (10)	0.060	1.170

The value in brackets is the fastest scenario for disappearance, given the model’s prediction uncertainty. Also shown are values for parameters \(\propto\) and N of the lagged exponential function of [1] (Eq. (2)), which give the best approximation to the median predictions of Model 7
