Mixed severity fire effects within the Rim fire: Relative importance of local climate, fire weather, topography, and forest structure

•Examined importance of controls on mixed-severity burn patterns.•Biophysical environment and fire history best explained burn severity patterns.•Spatial autocorrelation important factor when modeling burn severity patterns.•Pre-fire airborne LiDAR measurements of forest structure did not improve re...
