LANDFIRE 2001 Refresh 13 Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model (FBFM13) AK
LANDFIRE's (LF) 2001 thirteen Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Models (FBFM13) product represents distinct distributions of fuel loadings found among surface fuel components (live and dead), size classes, and fuel types (Anderson 1982). The fuel models are described by the most common fire carrying fuel type (grass, brush, timber, or slash), loading and surface area-to-volume ratio by size class and component, fuel bed depth, and moisture of extinction. LF FBFM13 can be used for fire spread related characteristic models. To create the FBFM13 product, expert rulesets were developed to understand how different types of disturbance would change pre-disturbance fuel models to post disturbance fuels, based on the severity and time since disturbance. These rulesets are represented in the LF Total Fuel Change (LFTFC) Tool and Database.
