Description
This is the executive summary for the draft report to the U.S. Forest Service Spring Mountains National Recreation Area for Fire Regime Condition Class (FRCC) mapping in southern Nevada. FRCC is a measure of the departure of vegetation structure-composition and fire regimes between current and reference condition. The Nature Conservancy processed biophysical settings and current vegetation class geodata and natural ranges of variability with the FRCC mapping tool.
