LANDFIRE 2024 Forest Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) HI
LANDFIRE's 2024 Update (LF 2024) Forest Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) describes the mass of available canopy fuel per unit canopy volume that would burn in a crown fire. A spatially explicit map of CBD supplies information used in fire behavior models to determine the spread characteristics of active crown fires across the landscape. CBD for disturbed and non-disturbed areas is determined via a general linear model (GLM) relating LF’s Forest Canopy Height (CH) and Cover (CC) to CBD (Reeves et al 2009).
To designate disturbed areas where CBD is modified, the aggregated Annual Disturbance products from 2015 to 2024 in the LF Fuel Disturbance (FDist) product are used. All existing disturbances between 2015-2024 are represented in LF 2024, and the products are intended to be used in 2025 (the year of release).
When using any product from the fuel product suite, users should consider adjusting fuel layers for disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2024 fiscal year (after October 1st, 2024). Disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2024 fiscal year are not accounted for within LF 2024 fuel products.
