LANDFIRE (LF) delivers three types of data releases:
base map:
is a comprehensive vegetation and fuels mapping effort of the LF product suite, this mapping uses satellite imagery and LFRDB plot data, for example: LF c2001
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
LF National, the first LF suite of products and our original base map, was delivered in 2009. It was updated four times to account for landscape disturbances and current conditions. Then a new base map or remapping of the LF product suite (LF 2016 Remap) was released from 2019-2021. The first large update to this new base map, LF 2020, was released incrementally in 2022.
Beginning in 2023 the second update to LF Remap will be released, LF 2022.
