Updates will be made to the Multi-Source land cover product as new data become available (on roughly an annual basis) through the CDF/USFS Land Cover Mapping and Monitoring Program (LCMMP). These annual updates offer opportunities to input newly available data from other sources as well.

Updated versions of the data will be released as new or updated data are merged into the FRAP Multi-Source vegetation product.

• Between v02_1 and v02_2, changes were made in the Mojave and Eastern Colorado Desert. Specifically FRAP incorporated the following data layers:

• BLM North East Colorado Desert Plan Area (1997): Used to depict vegetation data for the Eastern Colorado Desert area. Contact Nanette Pratini, BLM Riverside, Nanette_Pratini@ca.blm.gov
• BLM Western Mojave Vegetation data (?): Used to depict vegetation data for the Western Mojave Desert area. Contact Nanette Pratini, BLM Riverside, Nanette_Pratini@ca.blm.gov
