March 21, 2012: LANDFIRE Total Fuel Change Tool

Presenters: Tobin Smail & Charley Martin, (US Geological Survey).

The LANDFIRE Total Fuel Change Tool (LFTFC) allows users to edit LANDFIRE fuels attributes and associated layers directly with an ArcMap Toolbar. This webinar provides an overview of LFTFC’s capabilities to edit and add rule sets for changing fuel attributes based on existing vegetation type (EVT), existing vegetation cover (EVC), existing vegetation height (EVH), biophysical settings (BPS), and disturbance which are GIS layers that are downloadable from LANDFIRE (www.landfire.gov). Fuel characteristics can be updated for both surface and canopy fuels and graphs can be created for easy interpretation.
