LANDFIRE

LANDFIRE (Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools) provides nationwide geospatial data on vegetation, fuels, and disturbance at 30 m resolution. This data source is available as a package extension — load both GeoDataAccess and Landfire.jl to activate it.

Note

LANDFIRE uses an async job workflow (submit -> poll -> download ZIP -> extract GeoTIFF) which is handled automatically by fetch. Jobs may take several minutes to complete depending on the extent and number of products requested.

Setup

Install Landfire.jl:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("Landfire")

Set the LANDFIRE_EMAIL environment variable (required by the LFPS API):

ENV["LANDFIRE_EMAIL"] = "your-email@example.com"

Usage

using GeoDataAccess, Landfire
using GeoDataAccess: DataAccessPlan, fetch
using GeoInterface.Extents: Extent

# Browse available products
prods = Landfire.products(layer="FBFM40")

# Define area of interest
ext = Extent(X=(-107.7, -106.0), Y=(46.5, 47.3))

# Create plan and fetch
plan = DataAccessPlan(LandfireSource(), ext; products=prods)
files = fetch(plan)  # submits job, polls, downloads, extracts -> [tif_path]
