Goals of this demonstration

We will use LANDFIRE products to:

  1. Characterize and map past and present ecosystem conditions

This demonstration will:

  • Provide context for the past and present ecosystem conditions the Southern Rockies Subregion, one of the Southern Rockies Fire Science Network’s (SRFSN) five Subregions
  • Demonstrate the power of data visualization to explore ecological patterns and functions using LANDFIRE products
  • Facilitate an understanding of historical and current conditions on a regional scale
