Fuel moisture of common garden beds and key weather variables over a five-day dry-down in May 2010.

Effects of topographic position and day were significant and are shown while litter source effects were not significant and are not included (Table 4). Data are separated between the L and FH layers (panels A and B, respectively). Standard errors are included. Note that the scale for the FH-layer plot has a larger range because of greater moisture contents. Weather variables (C) were measured at the VFEF headquarters (see Fig 2 for location). A wetting rainfall occurred early on 22 May 2010 (day zero).
