This single-band float32 GeoTIFF raster represents a spatially smoothed vulnerability index for sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems at the northern extent of the sagebrush biome, spanning the US–Canada border region from north-central Montana into southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan, with smaller portions of Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota (approximately 46.0°N...

The LF 2020 Update represents the second step in moving towards an annual update in which the disturbances from the year before are represented in current year products. LANDFIRE (LF) 2019L (Limited Update) was the first step towards this goal but contained limited disturbance information (events and fire program data only) for the years 2017-2019. LF 2020 includes adjustments to...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) has developed an integrated 1-meter topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) for the Potomac River extending from tidal Washington, D.C. to upstream of Hancock, Maryland. This is the third 3DEP pilot inland TBDEM, developed to produce a 3-dimensional surface elevation model that integrates topographic bare-earth...

A benchmark global water balance evapotranspiration (WBET) dataset was generated using machine learning for large-area bias correction of remote sensing-based evapotranspiration (RSET). The dataset contains WBET (1991-2020 average) of over 15,000 Level 6 HydroBASINS worldwide. Additionally, a comparison of this dataset with three RSET and a machine learning-based global datasets is...

This dataset provides a globally consistent daily climatology of grass reference evapotranspiration (ETo, units in millimeter) for the 1981–2010 climatological period. The product integrates multiple sources to improve spatial completeness and regional accuracy, including TerraClimate monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) fields, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology...

The AgWet (Agriculture Wetland) mask is a specialized land‑cover dataset developed to enhance wet-bulb boundary parameterization in Version 7 of the SSEBop evapotranspiration model (operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance), particularly improving the Forcing and Normalizing Operation (FANO) algorithm over wet-bare surfaces. In sparsely vegetated surfaces, low NDVI (Normalized...

For all available weekly RCMAP-EAG data see the RCMAP Viewer - Next Generation Viewer or MRLC for download. Two weeks of sample data and metadata are included below. Exotic species can disrupt ecosystems since they often possess competitive advantages over native species. In the western United States, the spread of exotic annual grasses (EAG) like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and...

The RCMAP (Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection) dataset quantifies the percent cover of rangeland components across western North America using Landsat imagery from 1985-2025. The RCMAP product suite consists of ten fractional components: annual herbaceous, bare ground, herbaceous, litter, non-sagebrush shrub, perennial herbaceous, sagebrush, shrub, tree, and shrub...

The IntELiMon team releases Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) derived datasets via the project's viewer daily. The datasets include multiple types of information related to each acquisition, including 3D point clouds, field observations, and surface and canopy fuel metrics in csv format. CSDGM FGDC XML metadata are included as a static accompanying file along with the dynamic datasets...

Monitoring plant life stages (i.e., phenology) is pertinent to land management as phenological dynamics reflect the vegetation response to changes in weather and disturbance and to changes in vegetation composition. Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) invasion has threatened habitats and economies across the western U.S. The phenology of EAG species, such as cheatgrass, differs from native...

Scientists and engineers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS) Cal/Val Center of Excellence (ECCOE) collected in situ measurements using field spectrometers to support the validation of surface reflectance products derived from Earth observing remote sensing imagery. Data provided in this data release were collected during select...

This product suite maintains LANDFIRE's ongoing goal to release annual updates every year that are current to the previous year. This means LF 2024 accounts for disturbances up through Fiscal Year 2024 and is being released in 2025. The releases are intended to provide critical, up-to-date information ahead of the fire season for areas of the United States prone to large devastating...
