Change in mean snow disappearance date (SDD) before and after fire. SDD was evaluated for all burned forests (n = 841; dashed line) located in the western U.S. seasonal snow zone using 2000–2016 MODIS satellite measurements. Forest fire resulted in a clear and immediate shift in SSD, with impacts of fire starting to decline after ~8 years but persisting for >10 years. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean
