Vegetation data for Southwest Forest Vulnerability Index: .
Summary
Derived from the LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation data (http://www.landfire.gov/vegetation.php). This dataset has been resampled from the 30 m resolution of the source data to 300 m. The resampling was done using a majority filter so that cells in the new raster represent the most common type from the original raster. The main use for this dataset is in conjunction with Southwest Forest Vulnerability Index rasters, which contain the modeled vegetation exposure scores for several projected future climate scenarios. This raster can be used as an index of the vegetation type being modeled at each location.
