description:
|
Fire groups are categories based upon vegetation types and their fire regime. This dataset is derived from Version 5.4 of the Ecological Response Unit (ERU) layer. Fire groups were assigned to the ERU designations during the 2017 and 2023 regional wildfire risk assessments (Nicolet 2017, Gannon et al. 2023). The polygons were dissolved by the fire group assignments to the ERUs. A minimum mapping unit of 1,000 acres (400 ha) is required by some protocols (USDA Forest Service 2017) and was then applied following the dissolve to exclude small polygons (<1,000 acres). Over 86% of the region is represented by large polygons that exceed the minimum map unit threshold. Attributes were added for historic fire regime and flame length class. Note that non-vegetation ERUs such as sparsely vegetated, urban/developed, agriculture, and water did not get assigned a fire group and were included with small polygons (< 1,000) into a general category of ?Not Included (< 1,000 ac)?.Gannon, B., F.
