Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FFE-FVS)

The Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FFE-FVS) links FVS with models of fire behavior, fire effects, fuel loading, and snag dynamics. Model outputs include predictions of potential fire behavior and effects and estimates of snag levels and fuel loading over time. Because FFE is linked to the FVS growth model, it can help assess both the short and long term effects of fuel treatments and other management activities.

  The FVS General Technical Reports (GTRs) and Guides web page, providing background information and user's guides for FVS, FFE-FVS, and related programs.
• FVS Setup Programs
  The complete FVS, Suppose, and SVS simulation package. Setup files include all simulator and visualization software components including the FVS variants, FFE-FVS, the graphical interface (Suppose), the Stand Visualization System (SVS), and sample data in a single, easy-to-install program.
