Description:
In order to provide the land cover user community a summary of the similarity and differences between the 2011 National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) and the Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Program Existing Vegetation 2010 Data (LANDFIRE EVT),the two datasets were compared at a national (conterminous U.S.) and regional (Eastern, Midwestern, and Western) extents.
LANDFIRE, Douglas-fir - western hemlock, ponderosa pine – Douglas-fir, Oregon Coast Range, Northern Rockies, FRCC, Sclass, EVT
Description:
Case Study Discussing the differences between FRCC values for maritime Douglas-fir - western hemlock systems in the Oregon Coast Range and western Cascades than for ponderosa pine – Douglas-fir systems in the Northern Rockies.
Discussion on possibilities as to why LANDFIRE FRCC appears to underestimate the effect of widespread invasion of annual grasses into sage shrublands in southeastern Oregon and to overestimate departure in central Montana grasslands.
LANDFIRE FRCC in Wyoming Big Sagebrush in southwest Wyoming shows moderate to high departure and sharp boundaries between adjacent subsections. while FRCC in desert shrub systems in southwestern Arizona is ubiquitously low, even though significant impact from invasive plants is expected.

This summary is being provided to help LANDFIRE EVT spatial product users understand the characteristics of the data to support appropriate applications
This report provides potential users access to information about the quality of the LANDFIRE data in Alaska and Hawai’i (AK_HI) so that the LANDFIRE products may be fully and appropriately used.

Description:
The LANDFIRE Product Quality Assessment Report provides potential users access to information about the quality of the LANDFIRE data so that the LANDFIRE products may be fully and appropriately used.
The interagency LANDFIRE project worked to produce quality products from available data sets. The Alaska and Hawai’i Milestone Assessment followed the processes outlined in the LANDFIRE Product Quality Control and Assessment Plan (PQCA Plan).

Description:
The interagency LANDFIRE project is required to provide a Product Quality Control and Assessment Plan (PQCA Plan). The LANDFIRE Product Quality Working Team (PQWT) developed this draft work plan for review and adoption for implementation.
Compare the NPS assessment results with LANDFIRE assessment results to develop an overall, integrated review of LANDFIRE spatial product quality. The purpose is to inform potential users of LANDFIRE EVT—help them understand and apply the agreement assessment results in their applications.
LANDFIRE, 2010, Existing Vegetation Type (EVT), Quality Assessment, directly mapped, LANDFIRE Reference Data Base (LFRDB), North Central (NC) GeoArea
Description:
To support the user community, LANDFIRE is committed to providing as much information as possible about the characteristics, quality and applications of all program products. Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) is a key product of the LANDFIRE Program. In addition to its use and importance as a spatial layer, EVT is used to develop other important downstream products such as Fire Behavior Fuel Models. We have focused on an EVT assessment first because it is a “directly mapped” product created from basic information about vegetation, vegetation transitions, and disturbance. It is not a “derived” layer.

Description:
Floodplain riparian ecosystems support unique vegetation communities and high biodiversity relative to terrestrial landscapes. Accordingly, estimating riparian ecosystem health across landscapes is critical for sustainable river management. However, methods that identify local riparian vegetation condition, an effective proxy for riparian health, have not been applied across broad, regional extents. This paper presents an index to assess reach-scale (500 m segment) riparian vegetation condition across entire drainage networks within large, physiographically-diverse regions.
