Observed:
If you have an area that had a fire and an SBS map then the RAP trends are used to determine cover changes and the SBS is used to determine burn severity. So with this method it's only to examine recovery for fires that occurred in years past.
Simulated:
You can also run simulated fires where you upload a SBS map and then specify "cover transforms" that use RAP data from the year before the fire and then adjust cover values for subsequent years to simulate the burn and recovery.
The main distinction with the reveg interface is the use of 9005 soils which adjust effective hydraulic conductivity based on the ksatfac and ksatrec parameters in the landusoillookup table.
For both types of runs observed climates is a requirement and they have to over the period of time where RAP data is available (1986-2023).
That sort of the cliff notes for the interface. Let us know if you have quesi

There are two ways that you can run it:
