5 : Spatial arrangement of burn severity in A) Brush Creek which was
71% burned with most high severity fire occurring in the upper
watershed and B) Pine Creek which was 59% burned with most high
severity fire occurring in the lower watershed. Distribution of
cumulative upslope accumulated area (black solid lines), cumulative
burned area (red dashed lines), and mean catchment NDMI (blue dotted
lines) for C) Brush and D) Pine. Upstream distance was relativized
between 0 and 1 in all plots, with headwaters on the left and outlet on
the right, to allow for comparisons between watersheds. The vertical
grey line denotes the mid-point of the watershed. Distribution of
relative lateral inputs with upstream distance for E) Brush and F) Pine
where bars are colored according the mean NDMI of each discrete lateral
input. Stream NO3- concentrations
predicted from the NO3- SSN model
(black circles) are compared for both E) Brush and F) Pine.
