| revision: | a modified data suite of the base map, often necessary before an update, for example: LF 2001 |
| update: | a vegetation and fuels mapping effort using the base product suite to more accurately represent current conditions and account for landscape disturbances and succession, for example: LF 2008 |
Schedule and Release Dates
Expected Data Delivery
LF National, delivered in 2009, was the first LF spatial dataset. The vegetation and fuel layers were updated four times to more accurately represent current conditions and account for landscape disturbances: LF 2008 - in 2011, LF 2010 - in 2014, LF 2012 - in 2015, and LF 2014 - in 2017.
