May 1, 2012: Working group to guide development of a new raster simulator for Path
A multi-agency working group has been formed to guide the development of a new spatially-explicit raster simulator for the Path Landscape Model. At present the group includes representation from The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Forest Service, North Carolina State University, and Virginia Tech. Please contact Jim Smith, LANDFIRE Project Leader with The Nature Conservancy, if you are interested in finding out more about this initiative.
January 31, 2012: Path version 4 now available for free download
Version 4 of the Path Landscape Model is now available for free download. This latest version marks another major milestone in the development of our landscape modeling software: firstly, Path version 4 allows for transitions between ecological strata, which can be used to represent shifts in vegetation communities over time (e.g. due to climate change); secondly, VDDT is no longer required as the simulation engine, removing several model limitations and providing significantly faster runtimes.
January 6, 2012: Support materials for LANDFIRE state-and-transition simulation models
New support materials are available from the LANDFIRE project for working with their comprehensive suite of more than 1,200 state-and-transition simulation models for U.S. ecosystems.
