ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.

California's Groundwater Basin Boundary Descriptions

In conjunction with the release of [California’s Groundwater Update 2020](https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/caglw_update2020), DWR has compiled a comprehensive list of the official basin boundary descriptions for all of California’s 515 groundwater basins. These descriptions were originally developed by DWR as part of California’s Groundwater (B-118) Update 2003 and have since been updated for some groundwater basins  as a result of the 2016 and 2018 [Basin Boundary Modifications](https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Groundwater-Management/Basin-Boundary-Modifications). To make locating descriptions easier, they have been organized by region which is determined by the first number of the basin number (i.e. 1-XXX). 

The original basin descriptions developed for California’s Groundwater (B-118) Update 2003 also included summaries of the hydrologic and hydrogeologic setting, groundwater storage capacity and water budget, groundwater level and quality trends, well yields, basin management, and references. This additional information contained in the basin descriptions will now be referred to as “basin reports” and are still available [online](https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/bulletin-118-update-2003-basin-reports) as part of the [Bulletin 118 -  Update 2003](https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/california-s-groundwater-bulletin-118-archive/resource/5fc7e39c-34e7-433e-9dbe-ff93ce76787f) report.

Gray Fox least-cost corridors for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1013]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The northern Sierra Nevada foothills wildlife connectivity project modeled wildlife corridors for 9 focal species between 238 landscape blocks within the northern Sierra Nevada foothills and neighboring ecoregions. We followed the least-cost corridor techniques described by Beier et al. (2007). This analysis identified the least-cost corridor, or the best potential route for each species, between neighboring landscape blocks. The data needed for a least-cost corridor analysis are a resistance raster and landscape blocks. The resistance raster is the inverse of the species distribution model (SDM) output (i.e., Maxent or BioView habitat models, which rank habitat suitability across the landscape from 0-100 for each species). We identified habitat patches for each focal species within each landscape block, and connected those habitat patches using the least-cost corridor models. The least-cost corridor model does not identify barriers, risk and dispersal. We removed urban areas and areas of unsuitable/non-restorable habitat from the corridors and then inspected the corridor to make sure they were continuous. We examined the amount of predicted suitable habitat in each corridor, and measured the distance between habitat patches within each corridor to make sure it was within the maximum dispersal distance for that focal species. If the corridors did not meet these rules then habitat patches on the border of the corridor were added to meet the selection requirements. For more information see the project report at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=85358].</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Racer Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1050]

This grid represents habitat suitability based on the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) expert opinion habitat suitability rankings by habitat type. Habitat suitability rankings (ranging 0-100) for each combination of habitat type, size class (dbh) and cover class (density) were applied to the 30 m vegetation grid using CWHRs Bioview. These values were then averaged across grid cells to create a 270 m grid consistent with that used in the Maxent models for the project. The grid was then symbolized to represent low (0-50), medium (50-75) and high (75-100) habitat suitability. Models were reviewed by CDFW species experts; please review the use limitations.For more information see the project report at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=85358].
