LANDFIRE fire regime products characterize reference fire frequency and severity and vegetation departure for the entire U.S. The datasets in this product suite include Biophysical Settings, Succession Class, Fire Regime Group, Mean Fire Return Interval, Reference Fire Severity, Vegetation Departure and Vegetation Condition Class. These products support fire and landscape management planning goals specified in the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, the Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy and the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. This presentation will describe the fire regime products, their development and how they have evolved over time. Considerations for the use of these products in fire management applications will be discussed. Presented at the Fifth International Fire Ecology and Management Congress: Uniting Research, Education, and Management; hosted by the Association for Fire Ecology, Dec. 5, 2012, Portland, Oregon. Part of the concurrent session: LANDFIRE: Data Products and Methods.
