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.
