LANDFIRE 2024 Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT) CONUS
LANDFIRE's 2024 Update (LF 2024) Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT) product represents the LF Existing Vegetation Type Ecological Systems (EVT) product modified to represent pre-disturbance EVT in areas where disturbances have occurred over the past 10 years. Due to shifting EVT codes and labels throughout the years, the FVT codes are based on an early version of EVT codes translated from the current version. Fuel products in LF 2024 were created with LF 2016 Remap vegetation in non-disturbed areas.
To designate disturbed areas where FVT is modified, the aggregated Annual Disturbance products from 2015 to 2024 in the LF Fuel Disturbance (FDist) product are used. All existing disturbances between 2015-2024are represented in LF 2024, and the products are intended to be used in 2025 (the year of release).
When using any product from the LF 2024 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.
