LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT) Palau

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 16, 2025 | Last Modified: 20230111
The LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of Existing Vegetation Type (EVT). FVT leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing pre-disturbance vegetation. FVT was developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases and the most recent 10 years of Annual Disturbance products and 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. The FVT product is then evaluated through a series of QA/QC measures ensuring lifeform of the vegetation type assignment matches the lifeform of associated FVT attributes.
