NLCD 2001 Land Cover California Subset

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with several federal agencies, has developed and released five National Land Cover Database (NLCD) products over the past two decades: NLCD 1992, 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016. The 2016 release saw landcover created for additional years of 2003, 2008, and 2013. These products provide spatially explicit and reliable information on the Nation’s land cover and land cover change. To continue the legacy of NLCD and further establish a long-term monitoring capability for the Nation’s land resources, the USGS has designed a new generation of NLCD products named NLCD 2019. The NLCD 2019 design aims to provide innovative, consistent, and robust methodologies for production of a multi-temporal land cover and land cover change database from 2001 to 2019 at 2–3-year intervals. Comprehensive research was conducted and resulted in developed strategies for NLCD 2019: continued integration between impervious surface and all landcover products with impervious surface being directly mapped as developed classes in the landcover, a streamlined compositing process for assembling and preprocessing based on Landsat imagery and geospatial ancillary datasets; a multi-source integrated training data development and decision-tree based land cover classifications; a temporally, spectrally, and spatially integrated land cover change analysis strategy; a hierarchical theme-based post-classification and integration protocol for generating land cover and change products; a continuous fields biophysical parameters modeling method; and an automated scripted operational system for the NLCD 2019 production. The performance of the developed strategies and methods were tested in twenty composite referenced areas throughout the conterminous U.S. An overall accuracy assessment from the 2016 publication give a 91% overall landcover accuracy, with the developed classes also showing a 91% accuracy in overall developed. Results from this study confirm the robustness of this comprehensive and highly automated procedure for NLCD 2019 operational mapping. Questions about the NLCD 2019 land cover product can be directed to the NLCD 2019 land cover mapping team at USGS EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 or mrlc@usgs.gov.

Aspen Stands - Warner Mountain [ds112]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset displays aspen stands in the Warner Mountains south of State Highway 299. The 1946 and 1994 data are presented as polygons depicting aspen stands derived from aerial photos taken in 1946 and 1994, respectively, while the 2002 data includes the aspen stand delineations and their corresponding vegetation data (i.e., size distribution of aspen, the canopy and shrub cover, the number of species of grasses and forbs, and the ratio of conifers to aspens). The polygons ranged in size from less than 0.2 acres to more than 1,130 acres. There are 2103 records, one for each aspen stand mapped and sampled. All data were collected and summarized by Aaron Di Orio, California Department of Fish and Wildlife. This is one of three data sets for a study investigating change in the size of aspen stands since 1946.  Other available data sets are 1946 and 1994 aerial photo mosaics.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Vegetation - Suisun Marsh - 1999 [ds160]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>As part of the monitoring program in the Plan of Protection, a Triennial Vegetation Survey was developed to document the overall vegetation composition of the Suisun Marsh and to monitor Salt Marsh Harvest Marsh (SMHM) habitat by the use of aerial photography in combination with ground verification. The vegetation map adheres to the 1998 National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS) and the 1995 Manual of California Vegetation (MCV). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The mapping study area consists of approximately 69,323 acres of Solano county. The map consists of 39,460 vegetation polygons. SPOT satellite imagery acquired June, 1999 was utilized as a base for the delineated polygons and photo interpretation signature in the focus study areas. This vegetation mapping project of Suisun Marsh blends ground-based classification, aerial photo interpretation, and GIS editing and processing. The method is based on the development of a quantitative vegetation classification, which is used to describe the vegetation map units of the marsh. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) for this project was 0.5 acre.  Delineation was done without attempting to classify the signatures; all visibly different signatures were delineated.  A small number of the resulting polygons were below the general 0.5 acre minimum; these were drawn because they had distinctive photo signatures. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Accuracy Assessments (AA) were performed, beginning in September 2000. During this effort, team members utilized Global Position System (GPS) to locate delineated vegetation polygons and accuracy assessment forms were completed. A total of 271 vegetation polygons were visited during this effort. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The project report is available for download at: </SPAN><A href="https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov:443/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=90000" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=90000</SPAN></A></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Stream Habitat Reach Summary - South Coast [ds768]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset contains in-stream salmonid habitat data summarized at the reach level. The data have been summarized from habitat unit level data collected by CDFW from November 2010 into September 2012. The database represents salmonid stream habitat surveys from 12 streams. Approximately 160 miles of streams were surveyed. The database helps identify and describe in-stream habitat available to anadromous salmonids within watersheds of the Santa Ynez hydrologic unit of the Central Coast Hydrologic Regions. Data were collected using standardized survey techniques according to the version of the "California Stream Habitat Restoration Manual" (see Flosi et al.) that was current in the year of survey. Field survey teams measured up to 60 parameters for selected habitat units. Stream surveys typically started at the downstream confluence and proceeded upstream to the "limit of anadromy" as assessed by the survey crew. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS Each record in this dataset represents in-stream habitat unit level data summarized at the stream reach level. A habitat unit is the base level for the stream habitat surveys and is generally determined by the occurrence of riffle, run and pool sections along the stream. Stream reaches are determined by changes in stream channel type as described by Rosgen (1994).</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

<span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>The Natural Communities Commonly Associated with Groundwater (NCCAG) dataset is a compilation of phreatophytic vegetation, regularly flooded natural wetlands and riverine areas, and springs and seeps extracted from 48 publicly available state and federal agency datasets. Two habitat classes are included in the dataset: wetland features commonly associated with the surface expression of groundwater under natural, unmodified conditions; and vegetation types commonly associated with the sub-surface presence of groundwater (phreatophytes). The NCCAG dataset began as an amalgamation of vegetation and wetland datasets with different scales, resolutions, attribute details, and classifications. A working group comprised of DWR, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) further reviewed the vegetation and wetland datasets and conducted a screening process to identify the vegetation and wetland types considered to be commonly associated with groundwater (Klausmeyer et al., 2018). The NCCAG dataset can be used as a starting point to investigate and identify groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) within a groundwater basin. Identifying GDEs requires detailed understanding of the land use, groundwater levels, hydrology, and geology of a location. This comprehensive understanding of geology, hydrology, and biology is not available at the statewide scale. Further investigation and verification of the connection and dependence between groundwater and mapped vegetation and wetlands at a local scale may be needed for water managers in sustainable groundwater management planning.</span>
