(LF 1.0.0 CONUS only used the vegetation and disturbance\ndynamics model LANDSUM.)\nFRG can be used in landscape assessments.\n\nThe LANDIFRE Fire datasets include:\n\n- Fire Regime Groups (FRG) is intended to characterize presumed historical fire regimes within landscapes based on interactions between vegetation dynamics, fire spread, fire effects, and spatial context\n- Mean Fire Return Interval (MFRI) quantifies the average period between fires under the presumed historical fire regime\n- Percent of Low-severity Fire (PLS) image quantifies the amount of low-severity fires relative to mixed- and replacement-severity fires under the presumed historical fire regime and is defined as less than 25 percent average top-kill within a typical fire perimeter for a given vegetation type\n- Percent of Mixed-severity Fire (PMS) layer quantifies the amount of mixed-severity fires relative to low- and replacement-severity fires under the presumed historical fire regime, and is defined as between 25 and 75 percent average top-kill within a typical fire perimeter for a given vegetation type\n- Percent of Replacement-severity Fire (PRS) layer quantifies the amount of replacement-severity fires relative to low- and mixed-severity fires under the presumed historical fire regime, and is defined as greater than 75 percent average top-kill within a typical fire perimeter for a given vegetation type\n- Succession Classes (SClass) layer characterizes current vegetation conditions with respect to the vegetation species composition, cover, and height ranges of successional states that occur within each biophysical setting\n- Vegetation Condition Class (VCC) represents a simple categorization of the associated Vegetation Departure (VDEP) layer and indicates the general level to which current vegetation is different from the simulated historical vegetation reference conditions\n- Vegetation Departure (VDep) indicates how different current vegetation on a landscape is from estimated historical conditions. VDep is based on changes to species composition, structural stage, and canopy closure.\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n30 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------|------------|--------------------|\n| `FRG` | meters | Fire Regime Groups |\n\n**FRG Class Table**\n\n| Value | Color | Description |\n|-------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 1 | #4cc24a | \\\u003c= 35 Year Fire Return Interval, Low and Mixed Severity |\n| 2 | #265400 | \\\u003c= 35 Year Fire Return Interval, Replacement Severity |\n| 3 | #ffff99 | 35 - 200 Year Fire Return Interval, Low and Mixed Severity |\n| 4 | #8400a8 | 35 - 200 Year Fire Return Interval, Replacement Severity |\n| 5 | #ee1e00 | \u003e 200 Year Fire Return Interval, Any Severity |\n| 111 | #0000ff | Water |\n| 112 | #c8ffff | Snow / Ice |\n| 131 | #4e4e4e | Barren |\n| 132 | #b2b2b2 | Sparsely Vegetated |\n| 133 | #e1e1e1 | Indeterminate Fire Regime Characteristics |\n\n### Image Properties\n\n**Image Properties**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|-------------|--------|----------------------------------------------|\n| FRG_classes | DOUBLE | Class values of the fire regime groups. |\n| FRG_names | STRING | Descriptive names of the fire regime groups. |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nLANDFIRE data are public domain data with no use restrictions, though if modifications\nor derivatives of the product(s) are created, then please add some descriptive modifier\nto the data set to avoid confusion.\n\n### Citations\n\nCitations:\n\n- The suggested way to cite LANDFIRE products is specific to each product,\n so the model for citation is provided, with an example for a particular product.\n Producer.
