- Abstract FRCC was modeled using an ArcGIS tool developed by the National Interagency
Fuels, Fire, and Vegetation Technology Transfer (NIFFT) project. The tool uses two
GIS data layers created by LANDFIRE including biophysical setting and succession
class to evaluate current condition. The tool then compares current condition to a
database of historic conditions to derive relative departure of vegetation and
structure. All data layers were downloaded from landfire.gov in 2009.
- Purpose FRCC is a tool for determining how similar a landscape's fire regime is to its
natural or historical state. FRCC 1 indicates low departure or areas that contain
vegetation, fuels, and disturbances characteristic of the natural regime; FRCC 2
indicates moderate (33-66 %) departure from the natural regime; and FRCC 3 (>66%)
indicates high departure. A watershed in FRCC 1 reflects a landscape with key
ecosystem structure and processes intact; whereas a watershed predominantly in FRCC
3 reflects a landscape that has lost key ecosystem characteristics. For example, the
departure could be a dominance of dense stands within forested systems which
historically were more open or the loss of characteristic large trees due to
unusually large wildfires

- Logical Consistency Report FRCC was modeled using an ArcGIS tool developed by the National Interagency Fuels,
Fire, and Vegetation Technology Transfer (NIFFT) project. The tool uses two GIS data
layers created by LANDFIRE including biophysical setting and succession class to
evaluate current condition. The tool then compares current condition to a database of
historic conditions to derive relative departure of vegetation and structure. All data
layers were downloaded from landfire.gov in 2009. While an ecological measure was
considered to be important for accurately modeling fire risk across the state, FRCC was
intentionally weighted lower in the model. FRCC was not regarded as an effective measure
of ecological health. The technical team identified the development and incorporation of
an ecological health measure that more accurately reflects impact of catastrophic
wildfire on functioning of ecosystems as a high priority data gap.

- Overview Description

- Entity and Attribute Overview FRCC was modeled using an ArcGIS tool developed by the National Interagency
Fuels, Fire, and Vegetation Technology Transfer (NIFFT) project. The tool uses two
GIS data layers created by LANDFIRE including biophysical setting and succession
class to evaluate current condition. The tool then compares current condition to a
database of historic conditions to derive relative departure of vegetation and
structure. The entire state was evaluated at landscape level 1. All data layers were
downloaded from landfire.gov in 2009. The orginal FRCC values were reclassified such
that no data and FRCC 1 = 0 and FRCC 2 = 1 and FRCC 3 = 2 for input into the
wildfire risk model. The reclassed and original grids were then combined. The data of the New Mexico Statewide Natural
Resources Assessment was organized
around eight core data themes suggested in the 2008 Farm Bill. The eight core data
themes include: Fish and Wildlife Habitat (Biodiversity), Development Risk
(Potential), Economic Development (Potential), Forest Health, Fragmentation, Green
Infrastructure, Water Quality and Supply, and Wildfire Risk. For each core data
theme, models were developed and served as the foundation for identifying the
priority landscapes within New Mexico for the Statewide Strategy and Response Plan.
While the 2008 Farm Bill provided the framework for the models developed, the Forest
and Watershed Health Plan provided the vision for the content of each model and
placed emphasis on expanding the scope to include all resources, not just forest
resources. Technical teams, comprised of subject and technical experts from agencies
and other partners, served as the advisors in the development each of the data
models. Individuals on the technical teams range from environmental organizations,
private industry, federal, state, and municipal partners, private landowners,
conservation organizations, and citizens groups. One technical team was formed for
each of the eight core data models. The frcc layer was created as an input into the
wildfire Risk model. The spatial layers are housed on the New Mexico Resource
Geographic Information System Program (RGIS), a cooperative program between the
University of New Mexico and the New Mexico Information Technology Commission and
