Product Description
This page includes a general description of the product, please consult the schedule and version pages for information specific to each release.
LANDFIRE (LF) disturbance products are developed to provide temporal and spatial information related to landscape change. Fuel Disturbance (FDist) uses the latest 10 years of Annual Disturbance products representing disturbance year and original disturbance code. FDist was a refinement of Vegetation Disturbance (VDist) in LF 1.x products and is a refinement of Historical Disturbance (HDist) in LF 2016 Remap to more accurately represent disturbance scenarios within the fuels environment. FDist development involves a comprehensive review of disturbance attributes.
LF 2016 Remap and beyond includes a 90-kilometer buffer along the 1,500 miles of the eastern and southern borders AK shares with Canada. Then with the LF 2020 update, and future updates, for the Conterminous United States (CONUS) a 90-kilometer buffer into Mexico is also included.
LF uses FDist in the development of Fuels products.
