Fuel Ranking: San Francisco Bay Area, California, 2005
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This raster dataset depicts a fuel assessment methodology developed by the California Fire Plan developed by the California Department of Forestry and utilized in the nine county San Francisco Bay Area Region, California. The fuel ranking methodology assigns ranks based on expected fire behavior for unique combinations of topography and vegetative fuels under a given severe weather condition (wind speed, humidity and temperature). Source data was compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
- Purpose
- This dataset was developed/compiled for use in the San Francisco Bay Area Upland Habitat Goals Project, a Project used to identify a Conservation Lands Network (CLN) for biodiversity preservation to inform conservation investments and lasting cooperative conservation partnerships. The Conservation Lands Network GIS Database is the primary output of the Project. The data depicts the spatially explicit CLN that is recommended for the nine county San Francisco Bay Area Region, California.
