LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

The LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of the Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) product from previous LF versions. LF Remap EVH is mapped as continuous estimates of canopy height for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms with a potential range from 0m to 50m or more. To translate continuous EVH values into fuel model assignments, EVH values are binned to new groups to improve canopy fuel predictions. FVH leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing pre-disturbance vegetation and was developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases and the most recent 10 years of disturbance data. FVH is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (TSD) assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.
