LANDFIRE, Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS), U.S. Geological Survey 20210225 LF Remap raster digital data Sioux Falls, SD Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS), U.S. Geological Survey https://www.landfire.gov Aspect was produced from the IA DEM using ESRI's Aspect tool. Method option in the tool was ‘PLANAR'. The aspect defines downslope direction. Non-defined aspect (slope is less than or =2) are assigned a value of -1. Aspect values range from 0.0 to 359.0 degrees Focal Statistics were used on the Percent Rise Slope using a 9x9 window and a median statistics value. the file was then used to rectify over the Aspect file (in house script was used). LANDFIRE 2016 Remap (LF Remap) is a comprehensive mapping effort that uses recent data to create a new base map product suite that better represents contemporary conditions. LF Remap represents circa 2016 ground conditions and is designed to produce vegetation, disturbance, and fuels products that inform wildland fire and ecological decision systems. LF Remap has improved past methodologies and processes to incorporate current satellite imagery, contemporary data sources, and the latest software and hardware technologies. Final LF Remap products offer significant improvements to all previous LF versions (read more about versions here https://www.landfire.gov/lf_schedule.php). LF Remap products are designed to facilitate national and regional level strategic fire and resource management planning and reporting of management activities. The principal purposes of the products include providing, 1) national level, landscape scale geospatial products to support fire and fuels management planning, and 2) consistent fuels products to support fire planning, analysis, and budgeting to evaluate fire management alternatives. Products are created at a 30 meter raster; however, the applicability of products varies by location and specific use. LF products were designed to support 1) national (all states) strategic planning, 2) regional (single large states or groups of smaller states), and 3) strategic/tactical planning for large sub regional landscapes and Fire Management Units (FMUs) (such as significant portions of states or multiple federal administrative entities). The applicability of LF products to support fire and land management planning on smaller areas will vary by product, location, and specific use. Managers and planners must evaluate LF products according to the scale and requirements specific to their needs. LF 2016 Remap Insular Areas (IA) were produced from the GMTED2010 data available on Earth Explorer (earthexplorer.usgs.gov). With the help of online shoreline data from (https://products.coastalscience.noaa.gov/collections/benthic/e99us_pac/) and online FAS_GIS_Mosaics (https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OAS/prd/accession/download/67475). During the production of the LF Remap IA products, shoreline data was buffered 3 Nautical Miles (American Samoa, Guam-Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and Puerto Rico-U.S. Virgin Islands) and those extents were used. 2016 ground condition Complete Biennially 137.5488 163.3647 10.2284 3.8128 ISO 19115 Topic Category biota USGS Thesaurus fires hazard preparedness remote sensing image collections geospatial datasets geographic information systems None raster digital data Aspect topo U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) LANDFIRE 2016 Remap topography USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:6225f6af-512c-4b22-8ad3-cc0e1930e891 Common geographic areas US IA United States Insular Areas OCONUS Federated States of Micronesia Micronesia None None LANDFIRE, Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS), U.S. Geological Survey Customer Service Representative physical

Attributes were not validated against in person observations. The products were pixel "truth" tested for consistency of land or water characteristics across all products. Products were formally tested to ensure that valid data was produced for all pixels. Each product was then validated and tested for duplicates, omissions, and errors. Beginning in 2016 LF Remap products were created using recent advances in image compositing, tiling algorithms, and faster computing hardware to ensure that LF products remained relevant. LF Remap leveraged the Landsat archive, lidar data, and user contributed field plot data compiled into the LF Reference Database (LFRDB), to create new base map vegetation products. Reference resources included, but were not limited to, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program plot data (USFS https://fia.fs.fed.us/), Landsat Dynamic Surface Water Extent [(DSWE) USGS https://www.usgs.gov/land-resources/nli/landsat/], the National Land Cover Dataset [(NLCD) USGS https://www.mrlc.gov/data], and National Agricultural Statistics Service [(NASS) USDA - https://www.nass.usda.gov/].
