Summary
LANDFIRE biophysical settings describe and map plant communities based on geophysical conditions and natural disturbance regimes (LANDFIRE 2016). This dataset is the ruleset used by Sofaer et al. (the related larger work for this data release) to simplify the many LANDFIRE categories within the Great Basin into fewer, coarser groups for the purpose of modeling.
