US Forest Service LANDFIRE Potential Vegetation

LANDFIRE Potential Vegetation is mapped using predictive landscape models based on extensive field-referenced data and biophysical gradient layers using classification and regression trees. LANDFIRE uses potential vegetation products to create fire regimes data. These products use NatureServe's Ecological Systems classification, meeting the requirement that map units be identifiable, scalable, and model-able. The NatureServe Explorer provides descriptions for each ecological system including species, distribution and classification information.
