The supplied demonstration data are for the Mt. Emily wildland urban interface (WUI), located in northeastern Oregon. The Mt. Emily WUI is 40,385 ac (58% of which are federally managed lands) and is north of La Grande, OR.
About 30,300 ac of the area are forested, based on a 10% minimum canopy closure definition. The forest composition ranges from dry forests of ponderosa pine, to cold forests dominated by subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce, and a transition zone containing grand fir, Douglas-fir, and western larch (Ager et al. 2010).
The Mt. Emily study area is comprised of 1,081 stands (polygons).
A full set of demonstration data is available for completing the exercises within this tutorial. Data include:
Geospatial data included within the demonstration data folder. The “lf” data was downloaded from LANDFIRE (Refresh 2008, LF_1.1.0).
