Tolerable fire interval status of Vegetation on public land

dataset: FIREECOL_STATUS_TFI
This layer shows the modelled Tolerable Fire Interval (TFI) status of vegetation on Victorian public land between years 2002 and 2015. TFIs are the minimum and maximum recommended time intervals between fire events for a particular vefetation community (see below for full definitions). The time interval is derived from the vital attributes of plant and animal species that occupy the vegetation community. The dataset categorises the landscape into five categories: Below minimum tolerable fire interval; Within tolerable fire interval; Above maximum tolerable fire interval; Public land with no recorded fire history; and Private land is also mapped. For a full understanding of the concepts on which this dataset is based, please see DSE Fire and adaptive management report no. 84, "Growth stages and tolerable fire intervals for Victoria's native vegetation data sets", David Cheal, 2010. Minimum TFI describes the minimum time required between two successive fire events at a site in order that a vegetation community or its constituent species can persist and have every reasonable chance of reaching maturity and setting seed. Expressed in years. Maximum TFI describes the maximum time required between two successive fire events at a site in order that a vegetation community or its constituent species can persist in the absence of fire. Expressed in years. The layer was created by the Fire and Emergency Management Division in the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, and completed September 30th 2015.

Title
Tolerable fire interval status of Vegetation on public land 
Alternate title
