US Forest Atlas FIA Modeled Abundance (Image Service)

<p><strong>FIA Modeled Abundance:</strong></p><div>This dataset portrays the live tree mean basal area (square feet per acre) of the species across the contiguous United States. The underlying data publication contains raster maps of live tree basal area for each tree species along with corresponding assessment data. An efficient approach for mapping multiple individual tree species over large spatial domains was used to develop these raster datasets. The method integrates vegetation phenology derived from MODIS imagery and raster data describing relevant environmental parameters with extensive field plot data of tree species basal area to create maps of tree species abundance and distribution at a 250-meter (m) pixel size for the contiguous United States. The approach uses the modeling techniques of k-nearest neighbors and canonical correspondence analysis, where model predictions are calculated using a weighting of nearest neighbors based on proximity in a feature space derived from the model. The approach also utilizes a stratification derived from the 2001 National Land-Cover Database tree canopy cover layer.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><p>This data depicts current species abundance and distribution across the contiguous United States, modeled by using FIA field plot data. Although the absolute values associated with the maps differ from species to species, the highest values within each map are always associated with darker colors. This is a digital representation of maps by Elbert L. Little, Jr., published between 1971 and 1977. These maps were based on botanical lists, forest surveys, field notes and herbarium specimens.</p></div>

BAER Soil Burn Severity Classification (Image Service)

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The USDA Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Imagery Support program produces geospatial data of post-fire burn severities using standardized change detection methods based on Landsat, Sentinel-2, or similar multispectral satellite imagery. The BAER Imagery Support program provides an initial Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC) product to BAER teams. The BARC is a preliminary vegetation burn severity product which assesses severity based on the magnitude of detectable change to above ground biomass. The BAER teams collect field data on post-fire soil conditions that is used with the BARC to create the final soil burn severity (SBS) classification product for each BAER assessment. The SBS data is preferred for sharing publicly since it has been validated by the BAER team in the field. BAER teams use the soil burn severity product to assess the need for and application of emergency soil stabilization treatments following a wildfire. National mosaics compiling SBS classification products from individual BAER assessments are prepared on an annual basis. This SBS dataset is a compilation of final burn severity data products created by USDA Forest Service BAER teams from 2017 through the most recent completed fire year. It is a thematic raster dataset with four burn severity classes: unburned to very low, low, moderate, and high. The spatial resolution is variable based on the imagery used to create the initial BARC product and subsequent processing by the BAER teams. Datasets are typically 30m for Landsat assessments and 20m for Sentinel-2 assessments.</span></p></div></div></div>

Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition: Perimeters - PostfireVegChg (Feature Layer)

The USDA Forest Service Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire (RAVG) program produces geospatial and related data representing post-fire vegetation condition by means of standardized change detection methods based on Landsat or similar multispectral satellite imagery. RAVG data products characterize the impact of disturbance (fire) on vegetation within a fire perimeter, and include estimates of percent change in live basal area (BA), percent change in canopy cover (CC), and the standardized composite burn index (CBI). Standard thematic products include 7-class percent change in basal area (BA-7), 5-class percent change in canopy cover (CC-5), and 4-class CBI (CBI-4). Contingent upon the availability of suitable imagery, RAVG products are prepared for all wildland fires reported within the conterminous United States (CONUS) that include at least 1000 acres of forested National Forest System (NFS) land (500 acres for Regions 8 and 9 as of 2016). Data for individual fires are typically made available within 45 days after fire containment ("initial assessments"). Late-season fires, however, may be deferred until the following spring or summer ("extended assessments"). Annual national mosaics of each thematic product are prepared at the end of the fire season and updated, as needed, when additional fires from the given year are processed. The annual mosaics are available via the Raster Data Warehouse (RDW, see https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/RDW_Wildfire). A combined perimeter dataset, including the burn boundaries for all published Forest Service RAVG fires from 2012 to the present, is likewise updated as needed (at least annually).

Land Management Planning Unit (Feature Layer)

The Land Management Planning Unit (LMPU) feature class displays the plan revision status for FS land management planning units, their boundaries, FS Region, planning phase milestone and associated date, and link to a related planning website. A land management plan provides a framework for integrated resource management and for guiding project and activity decision-making on a nationalforest, grassland, prairie, or other administrative unit. New plan development is required for new NFS units; an existing plan may be amended at any time.

<b>Note:</b> <b>This is a large dataset. </b>To download, go to <a href='https://data-usfs.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/usfs::knutson-vandenberg-feature-layer' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>ArcGIS Open Data Set</a> and click the download button, and under additional resources select the shapefile or geodatabase option. The Knutson-Vandenberg Act (K-V) of June 9, 1930 (16 U.S.C. 576-576b; 46 Stat. 527), as amended by the National Forest Management Act of October 22, 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) authorized collection of deposits from federal timber purchasers for prompt and efficient use of funds to reestablish, protect, and improve the production of renewable resources on timber sale areas. This includes performing soil improvement and watershed restoration, wildlife habitat improvement, control of insects, disease, and noxious weeds, tree planting, seeding and other cultural treatments necessary to maintain and improve land productivity. Since its creation millions of acres of National Forest System lands (NFS) have been treated and restored to resilient conditions and terrestrial and aquatic habitat improved. Public Law 109-54 of August 2, 2005, Title IV General Provisions, Sec 412 further amended the K-V Act to allow the collection and use of CWKV funds for watershed restoration, wildlife habitat improvement, to prepare timber sales, control of insects, disease, and noxious weeds, fire community protection activities, and the maintenance of forest roads within the Forest Service region in which the timber sale occurred. Provided that such activities may be performed through the use of contracts, forest product sales, and cooperative agreements. Note that these activities are to be performed by contract and not Forest Service personnel. The Forest Service used this amendment to administratively create two K-V programs within the K-V fund; CWKV (Cooperative Work, Knutson-Vandenberg, Sale Area Projects) and CWK2 (Cooperative Work, Knutson-Vandenberg, Regional Projects). This layer shows the spatial representation where activities accomplished and funded with CWKV and CWK2 funds and reported through the Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS) database. It is important to note that this layer may not contain all CWKV or CWK2 accomplished activities; the spatial portion of the activity description is not currently enforced by FACTS and at this time some are optionally reported by Forest Service units. As spatial data reporting is enforced by the application and acceptant of reporting both tabular and spatial we hope to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of the data used for this layer in coming years. <a href='https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.Activity_KnutsonVandenberg.xml' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Metadata</a>
