Climate change, wildfire, and vegetation shifts in a high-inertia forest landscape: Western Washington, U.S.A.
Fig 6
Projected MC2 (top row) and average cSTSM (bottom row) forest zone trends.
Differences between MC2 and cSTSM trends reflect differing assumptions of landscape inertia: MC2 shows incremental change in potential distribution without accounting for inertia effects, while cSTSM only allows actual change to occur after high-severity fires.
