Presentation transcript:

= + + = + Beyond Condition Class: Using GIS Analysis to Prioritize Landscape Treatment Areas Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks We wanted to know how we could visualize the cumulative effects of high hazard, high ignition risk, high ecological need for fire, and other possible analyses. The resulting Landscape Treatment Analysis is a tool for helping fire managers determine where we could use fire, or where we might need to use other options such as mechanical thinning. Hazard Model Ignition Risk Model Ecological Value Model Potential Landscape Treatment Areas Physical situation with potential to cause harm Chance of Fire Occurring Ecological Value measured by Fire Return Interval Departure (FRID) VEGETATION RECLASS DEM Fire Ignition Occurrence HIGH MODERATE LOW Aspect 135-270 45-135, 270-315 0-45, 315-360 Elevation (m) 1-1524 1525-2438 2439-4417 Slope 40-90 10.01-39.99 0-10 HISTORIC FIRE RETURN INTERVALS ?
