FETM Outputs

 

FETM provides outputs in three formats: reports, graphs, and tables.

Reports

Multiple reports documenting the major inputs and assumptions are available for printing or viewing on-screen.  Report contents include:

bullet

Analysis Area attributes

bullet

FCC data

bullet

Treatment schedules

bullet

Disturbance-effects matrices

bullet

Scenario assumptions and data

bullet

Economic assumptions

Graphs

Multiple graphs of the FETM simulation results are also available for printing or viewing on-screen.  A few examples of the graphical output are shown on the Applications pages.  Graphs and graphing options include:

Landscape Composition

bullet

Time-series chart of acres by FCC

bullet

Bar chart of acres by FCC in a user-selected year

Wildland Fire Acres

bullet

Time-series chart of wildfire acres (total, or by fire intensity levels 1 through 6)

bullet

Time-series chart of prescribed fire acres

Wildland Fire Emissions

bullet

Time-series chart of fire emissions (wildfire, prescribed fire, and combined)

bullet

Line chart of fire emissions by prescribed fire treatment level for user-selected year

bullet

3-dimensional surface plot of combined fire emissions by year and by prescribed fire treatment level

Economic Analysis

bullet

Bar chart illustrating cost-benefit analysis of wildland fire

Average Fuel Loading

bullet

Time-series plot of average fuel loading over the Analysis Area

Tables

Finally, the data underlying the graphical outputs are available to the user in tabular format.  This enables the user to export the data to other software applications for reporting and processing purposes.
