LANDFIRE National Products

Entry ID: LANDFIRE

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: LANDFIRE National products comprise a set of 20+ digital maps of vegetation composition and structure; wildland fuel (crown and surface); and current departure from simulated historical vegetation conditions. LANDFIRE National procedures integrate relational databases, remote sensing, systems ecology, gradient modeling, and landscape simulation to create consistent and comprehensive products that are standardized across the entire United States. LANDFIRE will deliver national products on an incremental basis through FY 2009. LANDFIRE national data layers can be obtained through The National Map.
