Comparisons

Comparing Past vs. Present Conditions

Using LANDFIRE’s BpS products, we explore two different ways to visualize past vs. current vegetation patterns.

• First, we present changes in broad ecosystem types using an interactive comparison diagram. To present these broad ecosystem trends more effectively, we combined classifications of Existing Vegetation Types (EVT) into broader categories.

• Second, we compare amounts of succession classes (past and present) for the most prevalent ecosystems.

Note: number presented when hovering equals acres.
