In the days before LANDFIRE, fire scientists often struggled to find the vegetation and fuels data they needed to map the path of fires, keep firefighters safe, and to model fire recovery. The dizzying array of data points found in the map layers of the LANDFIRE product suite—from hundreds of vegetation classes to tree canopy height and bulk to fuel potential and beyond—became indispensable upon its release in 2005. Since then, it’s also proven its worth to land managers, ecologists, biologists, carbon modelers and others, and has been cited in over 1,000 papers. LANDFIRE is a multi-agency partnership led by the DOI Office of Wildland Fire and the USDA Forest Service. On this episode of Eyes on Earth, we hear from a non-profit LANDFIRE partner about the program’s value, and about recent efforts to remap the United States to improve the product.
