Fire points assigned by the LCT product as “urban” or
“bare/sparsely vegetated” are assumed to be open vegetation
burning and are reassigned a land cover type based on
the total tree and non-tree vegetation cover, as determined by
the VCF product. For those fire points with less than 40%
tree cover, the urban or sparsely vegetated land cover is reassigned
to grasslands; for 40–60% tree cover, the point is reassigned
as shrublands; and for tree cover greater than 60%
tree cover, the point is reassigned as a forest.
