The Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Project-LANDFIRE-is a multipartner project designed to produce a consistent suite of standardized, multi-scale spatial data layers and models. The maps and data describe vegetation and wildland fuel and fire regimes across the United States, and are designed to facilitate national and regional level strategic planning and reporting of wildland fire management activities. Not only is this collaboration a rarity, the LANDFIRE data are unique. Products include more than twenty 30-meter raster spatial layers of vegetation structure and composition, fire behavior, fire effects, fire regimes and dynamic vegetation models for all major ecosystems in the United States. With these products in hand, federal, state and private organizations have data that can be used to ask and answer important questions, test hypotheses, utilize current science and expert opinion and run alternative scenarios that can support broadscale strategic planning and land management decisions.
