既存の植生高（EVH）は、30 m セルの優占植生の平均高を表します。樹冠の高さは、トレーニング データや他の地理空間レイヤを使用して、樹木、低木、草本植物のライフフォームごとに個別に生成されます。EVH は、種被度で重み付けされた平均高と、既存の植生タイプ（EVT）のライフフォームに基づいて決定されます。

EVH is determined by the average height weighted by species cover and based on the Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) lifeform.\n\n- Decision tree models using field reference data, lidar, Landsat, and ancillary data are developed separately for each lifeform. Decision tree relationships are used to generate lifeform specific height class layers, which are merged into a single composite EVH layer.\n\n- Disturbance data were used to develop LF Remap products for LFRDB plot filtering and to ensure 2015 and 2016 disturbances were included that were not visible in the source imagery.\n\n- The EVC product is then reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure life-form is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Cover and EVT products.\n\nLF uses EVH in several subsequent layers, including the development of the fuel products.\n\nThe LANDIFRE Vegetation datasets include:\n\n- Biophysical Settings (BPS)\n- Environmental Site Potential (ESP)\n- Existing Vegetation Canopy Cover (EVC)\n- Existing Vegetation Height (EVH).\n- Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) These layers are created using predictive landscape models based on extensive field-referenced data, satellite imagery and biophysical gradient layers using classification and regression trees.\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n30 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------|------------|----------------------------|\n| `EVH` | meters | Existing Vegetation Height |\n\n### Image Properties\n\n**Image Properties**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|-------------|--------|------------------------------------------------------|\n| EVH_classes | DOUBLE | Class values of the Existing Vegetation Height. |\n| EVH_names | STRING | Descriptive names of the Existing Vegetation Height. |\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.
