Editing landscapes is an essential step for most assessment in IFTDSS. Some common reasons landscape edits are made often include:
-
Better represent the current conditions on your home unit.
-
Capture recent disturbances which may not yet be reflected in the landscape versions available in IFTDSS.
-
Simulate landscape conditions following fuel treatments.
User Created Edit rules, creating your own edits based on criteria you choose, are currently the primary method making landscape edits in IFTDSS.

Further information can be found in the Default Fuels Treatment / Disturbance Edit Rules topic.
