 The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a forest growth model that is widely used by forest managers and the research community to provide predictions of how the primary vegetation in forests will change over time (Crookston and Dixon 2005).

 FlamMap is capable of calculating surface and crown fire behaviors, moisture of fine dead fuels over an entire landscape, simulating fire growth for constant conditions under a minimum travel time (MTT) algorithm, conduct fuel treatment optimization modeling (TOM) for delaying the growth of large fires, and calculate the burn probability for a landscape.

A coarse scale assessment and mapping effort was initiated to support national-level fire planning and risk assessments.
There is a clear need for a practical and systematic method of assessing fire behavior and of predicting impending changes, based on fire science.
FOFEM (a First Order Fire Effects Model) is a computer program for predicting tree mortality, fuel consumption, smoke production, and soil heating caused by prescribed fire or wildfire.
