MCD burnt area as a function of time at successively longer radii for grassland (top) and plantation (bottom) sites. Thick lines show the best-fit model, which included group-specific intercepts for radius and site ids and whose sample-wide parameters are shown in Table S1. This model explained a substantial fraction of variation (conditional R² = 0.57 for MCD and 0.80 for CCI), see Supplementary Table S1.
