Vegetation

General vegetation and land cover types.

The Vegetation map describes the general vegetation and landcover types across the state of Colorado.

In the CO-WRA, the Vegetation dataset is used to support the development of the Surface Fuels, Canopy Cover, Canopy Stand Height, Canopy Base Height, and Canopy Bulk Density datasets.

The 2020 LANDFIRE program data product (Existing Vegetation Type) was used to compile the Vegetation data for the CO-WRA. This reflects data current to 2020. The LANDFIRE EVT data were classified to reflect general vegetation cover types for representation with CFA.
