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) Annual Disturbance (Dist) products depict where change occurred on the landscape, both spatially and temporally, on an annual basis. These products inform model vegetation transitions to provide updates to LF vegetation, fuel, and fire regime products.

Annual Disturbance products are attributed with disturbance year, type, and severity. These products are applicable in several areas of research and management such as landscape change, habitat gain/loss, carbon stock change, vegetation restoration, and more.

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.

Limited Annual Disturbance

Limited Annual Disturbance (LDist) made its debut with the LF 2023 Update. LDist is designed to provide a first cut of landscape change information as soon as possible to support time-sensitive updates such as risk management efforts. This early release does not include satellite change detection to capture additional disturbances and does not provide image-based severity for contributed events. Some fire program data includes severity which is present in the LANDFIRE LDist product. However, many fires and disturbance events lack severity assignments, therefore LDist severity is a default based on disturbance type (Clearcut = High Severity, Wildfire = Medium Severity, all others including prescribed fire = Low Severity).

LDist includes data inputs from the following sources:

Fire program perimeters and burn severity where available from four sources: Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC), Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire (RAVG), Landsat Burned Area (BA)
Event polygon datasets submitted from two national contributors: US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the National Park Service (NPS)
Event polygon datasets obtained from these online national sources: Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS), National Fire Plan Operations and Reporting System (NFPORS), National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), USFS National Insect and Disease Risk Map (NIDRM), and Interior Fuels and Post-fire Reporting System (IFPRS)

The LDist product, first featured in the LF 2023 update, is an early "draft" of the LANDFIRE Annual Disturbance product and includes fires, disturbance events, and land management activities for the previous Fiscal Year from trusted national sources obtained in November of the previous calendar year.

Preliminary Annual Disturbance

Preliminary Annual Disturbance (PDist) is another new product making its debut with the LF 2023 Update. PDist is designed to provide a second "draft" of landscape change information and will have multiple extent releases throughout each year:

Conterminous United States (CONUS) – by GeoArea
Alaska (AK)
Hawaii (HI)
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI)

PDist includes disturbance events for the previous Fiscal Year from regional sources obtained in November of the previous calendar year. Additionally, similar to annual disturbance products in past versions, PDist includes results from LANDFIRE satellite change detection and image-based severity. A complete list of data contributors can be found here: LANDFIRE Program: Contribute Data - Previous Contributions.

The PDist product featured in the current version will be used to update the Vegetation and Fuel (including Fuel Disturbance) products included in releases throughout the rest of the year.

Annual Disturbance

The Final Annual Disturbance (Dist) product is the "final" draft of Annual Disturbance data for a given version. Compared to PDist, Dist includes additional fires and disturbance events for the previous Fiscal Year, these events were harvested from a second "pull" of the national online sources in the summer of the current calendar year.

The Public Events Geodatabase for the current version is always released in the fall, and includes events captured from this second "pull".
The events harvested from the second "pull" will not be incorporated into the production of Fuel Disturbance (FDist) and other Fuel, Vegetation, and Fire Regime products. These events will be included in the next version.

Limited Annual Disturbance

LDist includes data inputs from the following sources:

Fire program perimeters and burn severity where available from four sources: Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC), Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire (RAVG), Landsat Burned Area (BA)
Event polygon datasets submitted from two national contributors: US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the National Park Service (NPS)
Event polygon datasets obtained from these online national sources: Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS), National Fire Plan Operations and Reporting System (NFPORS), National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), USFS National Insect and Disease Risk Map (NIDRM), and Interior Fuels and Post-fire Reporting System (IFPRS)

Preliminary Annual Disturbance

Conterminous United States (CONUS) – by GeoArea
Alaska (AK)

Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI)

The PDist product featured in the current version will be used to update the Vegetation and Fuel (including Fuel Disturbance) products included in releases throughout the rest of the year.

Annual Disturbance

The Public Events Geodatabase for the current version is always released in the fall, and includes events captured from this second "pull".
The events harvested from the second "pull" will not be incorporated into the production of Fuel Disturbance (FDist) and other Fuel, Vegetation, and Fire Regime products. These events will be included in the next version.

Improvements

LANDFIRE is no longer producing the exotics polygon layer, and it is no longer included in the Public Events geodatabase. You can still access the LF 2023 Exotics polygon data which includes Exotics data from 1999-2023 on the LF Map Viewer.

Beginning with the LF 2022 Update and onward into the future, near the end of the calendar year we are re-collecting disturbance events from LANDFIRE partners to capture and identify even more disturbances. For LF 2022, LANDFIRE added 6.5 million acres of disturbance events data to the LF Public Raw Events product upon re-collection. For a grand total of ~28 million acres of Raw Events data featured within the LF 2022 Update. The Annual Disturbance products will be "evolving" to reflect these additions more clearly in calendar year 2024 and beyond.

A public version of the LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap Reference Database (LFRDB) is available. The LFRDB contains a subset of the data and attributes used for LF National and LF Remap production. The Public LFRDB includes vegetation and fuel data that were largely amassed from existing information resources such as:

USFS Vegetation and Fuel Plot Data
USGS National Gap Analysis Program (GAP)
NPS Inventory and Monitoring (I&M)
State Inventory Data

Updated plot information was compiled for LF Remap and used to inform existing vegetation mapping. This new data was added to the public LFRDB for LF Remap.

Note: The latest LFRDB is LF 2016 Remap.

Data archived in the LF Remap Public LFRDB include:

Vegetation

Fuel

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

biomass estimates of downed woody material
depth or biomass estimates of litter and duff layers
percentage cover and height of shrub and herb layers

Major Public LFRDB attributes derived from the sampling data include:

Ecological System and NVCS Group labels
Lifeform cover and height estimates
Predictor data extracted from ancillary data layers and used for mapping

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.

Product Description

Map of LF 2020 CONUS Operational Roads The LANDFIRE Operational Roads product was introduced in LF 2020 and is intended to support fire operations. In the Operational Roads product, all known roads are represented. This product includes all pixels from the four roads classes within the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2021 Developed Imperviousness Descriptor product for the Conterminous United States (CONUS) including all pixels of primary (Value 20), secondary (Value 21), tertiary (Value 22), and thinned (Value 23) roads. The NLCD roads layer incorporates other major federal road layers such as commercial roads data.

The Operational Roads product addresses the need for a roads layer that provides comprehensive coverage of existing roads of all sizes. It can be used with other spatial data layers to assist users with decisions on access and egress for firefighting equipment, control points for fighting fires, or potential evacuation routes.

How is the Operational Roads product different from the Developed-Roads class within other products?

Unlike the Operational Roads product, the developed-roads class represented in the LANDFIRE vegetation (Existing Vegetation Type (EVT), Cover (EVC), and Height (EVH)) and fuel products (e.g. Canopy Cover (CC) and Height (CH)) is trumped by overlapping vegetation. For example, if there is both vegetation and a road present in a pixel during the creation of the EVT product then the vegetation takes priority, and the pixel is assigned a specific vegetation type class, rather than a developed-roads class.

Additionally, the smallest NLCD roads class, thinned roads (Value 23), was not used in the developed-roads class within vegetation and fuels products.

A particular pixel's vegetation designation also gets used in assigning fuels. This can result in "broken roads" but is helpful for understanding fuels continuity when modeling fire behavior. The Operational Roads layer contains no "broken roads" and is not focused on fuel continuity.

Operational Roads in Alaska in LF 2020 involved combining NLCD 2016 Urban Descriptor for Alaska and a commercially available roads dataset by buffering the roads by 15m, rasterizing them, and adding them to the NLCD roads. Where NLCD and the commercial data overlapped, NLCD was used. Commercial data roads classes were translated to NLCD primary, secondary, tertiary, and thinned roads based on the descriptions, whether it was paved, and speed categories.

Operational Roads in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam in LF 2020 were derived from the 2017 US Census Bureau TIGER lines (US Census Bureau, 2017) and include pixels within 15m of the road lines. The lines were buffered by 15m and then converted to raster using the "recode" field to designate the new pixel values.

The OpenGIS® Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) is an HTTP interface for requesting and serving geospatial map images over the internet. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area of interest to be processed and serves, or responds, with one or more geospatial map images that are able to be displayed in a browser application. A WMS call allows you to access and view LF data within your desktop mapping session that are formatted as they appear on the LF Map Viewer (formerly DDS).

Web Coverage Service (WCS) is also an HTTP interface that provides an open specification for sharing datasets on the web. WCS allows you to access LF products for analysis or modeling without downloading data. WCS provides the pixel value of the data.

Hawaii only: The provided WCS URLs will work with ESRI tools. QGIS and other non-ESRI products will be unable to use the WCS URL to view the Hawaii LF data as it is projected in ESRI 102007. Users can use non-ESRI products to view downloaded LF data from the map viewer or mosaic download.
