The 2000-2009 national fire perimeter data layer was developed in support of WFDSS for the 2010 fire season. The objective of the layer is to display historic national fire perimeter polygons in WFDSS. This layer will be expanded and grown upon in future years. The 2009 layer was created using the WFDSS 2001-2008 national fire history perimeter data, the interagency California 2009 data, Alaska 2009 data, and the remaining 47 States 2009 fire perimeter data from GeoMAC. The layer contains only those fires 100 acres and larger and from the time period of 2000-2009 from the data sources listed below. Last updated 08-23-2010.

Dynamic map service for GeoMAC application The Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination Group or GeoMAC, is an internet-based mapping application originally designed for fire managers to access online maps of current fire locations and perimeters in the conterminous 48 States and Alaska. Using a standard web browser, fire personnel can view this information to pinpoint the affected areas. With the growing concern of western wildland fires in the summer of 2000, this application also became available to the public.

CAL FIRE, USDA Forest Service Region 5, BLM, NPS, Contract Counties and other agencies jointly maintain a comprehensive fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout the state. The data covers fires back to 1878. For the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and US Forest Service, fires of 10 acres and greater are reported. For CAL FIRE, timber fires greater than 10 acres, brush fires fires greater than 50 acres, grass fires greater than 300 acres, and fires that destroy three or more residential dwellings or commercial structures are reported.

This dataset represents a summary of annual wildfire perimeter data (1910-1994) developed by the USFS Pacific Southwest Research Station .

This dataset depicts high, moderate, and low zones representing the severity of damage to the soil caused by a wildfire. Dates of fires mapped for severity in this layer range from 1999 to 2006. Burn severity zones define areas where significant increases in erosion and sedimentation are likely and could result in destructive flooding or loss of soil productivity. They also propose treatments, which are designed to mitigate soil movement, calculate the cost of those treatments, and request the approval of those expenditures.

FY2011Aspen populations are in decline across western North America due to altered fire regimes, herbivory, drought, pathogens, and competition with conifers. Aspen stands typically support higher avian biodiversity than surrounding habitats, and maintaining current distributions of several avian species is likely tied to persistence of aspen on the landscape. We are examining effects of climate change on aspen and associated avian communities in isolated mountain ranges of the northern Great Basin, by coupling empirical models of avian-habitat relationships with spatially-explicit landscape simulations of vegetation and disturbance dynamics (using LANDIS-II) under various climate change scenarios. We are addressing...
