Wildland Urban-Interface in Oregon, USA

- Description:
- This dataset depicts wildland-urban interface areas in Oregon, as mapped by the Oregon Department of Forestry. The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. This makes the WUI a focal area for human-environment conflicts such as wildland fires, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and biodiversity decline. Using geographic information systems (GIS), we integrated U.S. Census and USGS National Land Cover Data, to map the Federal Register definition of WUI (Federal Register 66:751, 2001).
