Overview of the LANDFIRE 2010 Existing Vegetation Type Quality Assessment for the North Central (NC) GeoArea
| URL: | https://www.landfire.gov/zip/NC_LF2010_EVT_Assessment_Pkg.zip |
| Author: | LANDFIRE |
| Keywords: | 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: | LANDFIRE 2008 Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) and Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) spatial layers were assessed for quality within the forest vegetation types using FIA plots measured in 2008 and 2009. These plots were not used to develop the LANDFIRE EVC and EVH products, and thus constitute an independent assessment sample. |

Riparian vegetation as an indicator of riparian condition: Detecting departures from historic condition across the North American West
| URL: | https://www.landfire.gov//documents/Macfarlane2016JEM.pdf |
| Author: | Macfarlane |
| Keywords: | Floodplain assessment,Condition assessment,Riparian restoration,Landscape planning,Columbia River Basin,Utah |
| 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. |
