|
natural community occurrences estimates of canopy cover and height per plant taxon measurements of individual trees occurrence of exotics plants |

Major Public LFRDB attributes derived from the sampling data include:
Certain proprietary and/or sensitive data were removed in the public database. Consult the table lutdtVisitsSourceID in the database regarding data sources.
The Public LFRDB can be used as input to spatial and non-spatial vegetation models and is applicable for ground truthing and accuracy assessments for a variety of modeling and mapping efforts.
New and Improved LF Auto-Keys were developed for LF Remap: learn about the Auto-Keys process redesign, which are used to determine existing vegetation type classification based on plot data in the LFRDB — Developing Auto-Keys for LANDFIRE Vegetation Mapping: 2014-2015 CONUS Project Report
