The LANDFIRE fuel data describe the composition and characteristics of both surface fuel and canopy fuel. Specific products include fire behavior fuel models, canopy bulk density (CBD), canopy base height (CBH), canopy cover (CC), canopy height (CH), and fuel loading models (FLMs). These data may be implemented within models to predict the behavior and effects of wildland fire. These data are useful for strategic fuel treatment prioritization and tactical assessment of fire behavior and effects. DATA SUMMARY: Canopy base height (CBH) describes the lowest point in a stand where there is sufficient available fuel (= .25 in dia.) to propagate fire vertically through the canopy. Specifically, CBH is defined as the lowest...

Habitat similarity index (HSI) values for greater sage-grouse across their western range. HSI values represent the relationship of environmental values at map locations to the multivariate model of minimum requirements for sage-grouse deļ¬ned by land cover, anthropogenic variables, soil, topography, and climate.

These data may be implemented within models to predict the behavior and effects of wildland fire. These data are useful for strategic fuel treatment prioritization and tactical assessment of fire behavior and effects. DATA SUMMARY: Canopy height describes the average height of the top of the canopy for a stand. A spatially-explicit map of canopy height supplies information for fire behavior models such as FARSITE (Finney 1998) to determine...

The LANDFIRE existing vegetation layers describe the following elements of existing vegetation for each LANDFIRE mapping zone: existing vegetation type, existing vegetation canopy cover, and existing vegetation height. Vegetation is mapped using predictive landscape models based on extensive field reference data, satellite imagery, biophysical gradient layers, and classification and regression trees. DATA SUMMARY: The existing vegetation type (EVT) data layer represents the current distribution of the terrestrial ecological systems classification developed by NatureServe for the western Hemisphere (http://www.natureserve.org/publications/usEcologicalsystems.jsp). A terrestrial ecological system is defined as a group...

Vegetation is mapped using predictive landscape models based on extensive field reference data, satellite imagery, biophysical gradient layers, and classification and regression trees. DATA SUMMARY: The existing vegetation cover (EVC) data layer is an important input to LANDFIRE modeling efforts. EVC is generated separately for tree, shrub and herbaceous cover life forms using training data and a series of geospatial data layers. Percentage tree canopy cover training data are generated using digital...

This file contains one of many raster grids of the Elevation Derivatives for National Applications (EDNA), a multi-layered database that provides systematic and consistent topographically-derived hydrologic derivatives. The slope grid was generated from the filled DEM using the "slope" function. The grid was created with the degree, not percent, slope parameter.

LANDFIRE Vegetation Condition Class (VCC) raster data set, clipped to the boundary of the Sourthern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC). VCC data quantifies the extent to which vegetation types have departed from simulated historical reference conditions. A VCC level of 1 represents a low level of departure, VCC 2 is moderate departure and VCC 3 is high departure. Other land cover categories are barren, sparsely vegetated, agriculture, urban, water and snow/ice. The attached Excel spreadsheet shows the area (square km) covered by each category, in the entire SRLCC and within its level III ecoregions. There is also an attached GIF preview image that shows how the raster data appear in ArcMAP. LANDFIRE...

This file contains one of many raster grids of the Elevation Derivatives for National Applications (EDNA), a multi-layered database that provides systematic and consistent topographically-derived hydrologic derivatives. The filled DEM grid was created from the original elevation data by filling all of the depressions, or sinks, in the original DEM. To create this grid, an algorithm was used to loacted and fill all depressions or sinks where there was no flow from pixel to pixel. During this process, efforts were made to maintain natural sink features.
