Fig. 6 in Effects of fire on small mammal communities in frequent-fire forests in California

Fig. 6.—Nonparametric multiplicative regression response curves (estimated by kernel functions) for the best model (highest crossvalidated xR2) describing Neotamias speciosus abundance given the habitat characteristics at 20 trapping sites in Yosemite National Park, California (2004–2005). The best model included a combination of fire severity (index) and elevation (m). The values on the graph are not intended to suggest definitive thresholds or maximum values for any of the habitat variables (see "Materials and Methods").
