Online_Linkage: http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/wui/ Description: Abstract: This dataset represents the historical fire regime and current condition classes for the Prescott National Forest. This data was created by the Fire Sciences Laboratory, part of the Rocky Mountain Research Station of the United States Forest Service. Historical Natural Fire Regimes were first developed through the integration of four biophysical data layers: DEMs, Kucher's Potential Natural Vegetation, 4th-Code HUCs, and Ecological Subregions (Bailey's Sections). Three current vegetation layers were also used: Resource Planning Act's Forest Types and Forest Densities of the US, and USGS EROS Data Center's Land Cover Characterization database. Expert regional panels developed generalized successional pathway diagrams for all combinations of Historical Natural Fire Regimes and a modified PNV layer. Mapping and final refinements were made by assimilating generalized succession pathways with biophysical and current data layers. Current Condition Classes are a function of departure from Historical Natural Regimes resulting in alterations of key ecosystem components such as: species composition, structural stage, stand age, and canopy closure. One or more of the following activities may have caused this departure: fire exclusion, timber harvesting, grazing, introduction and establishment of exotic plant species, insects or disease (introduced or native), or other past management activities. Current Condition Classes are defined as the relative risk of losing one or more key components of an ecological system. The risk of losing key components increases for each Current Condition Class, with little or no risk at the Class 1 level to significant risk at the Class 3 level. Note: These coarse-scale data were developed for national- level planning. Summaries of the data were restricted to state or Forest Service regional scales. The data were not intended to be used at finer spatial scales. Purpose: Represent historical fire regimes and current condition classes for the Prescott National Forest Supplemental_Information: This dataset was generated by the Fire Sciences Laboratory. It was reprojected and clipped to the boundaries of the individual National Forests in the Southwestern Region by the Southwestern Regional Office.
