Modeled large high-severity fire risk for the greater Klamath region. We derived the response variable from Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS, USDA Forest Service/U.S. Geological Survey, https://mtbs.gov/) fire perimeter and severity data spanning 1984 to 2010 (to be consistent with climate data time periods). This is a mosaic of four sub-regional models, each using a different set of explanatory variables. The continuous model outputs were reclassified into ''high risk' and 'low risk' using the Maxent-provided equal training sensitivity and specificity thresholds, which varied by region. Please see Klamath Fire Modeling Final Report for additional methods details.
