Vegetation Cover - Spears and Didion Ranches [ds319] Extended Table

These data are the summary statistics calculated for components of the herbaceous layers, and shrubs and trees from the three 0.05-ha circular plot habitat samples each taken in 2005 at the 15 sample points at Spears and Didion Ranches, Placer County, California. These values are based on point intersections of live vegetation with a sighting tube at 25 points on eight 12.6 m transects through the 0.05-ha plot. Readings were taken in the center of each habitat sampling plot and at 4 m, 8 m, and 12 m on each of the eight transects within the plot. The transects are at 45 degree increments with one transect to the north. The herb layer is vegetation 0.5-2.0 m tall, while the tree layer vegetation is &gt; 2.0 m tall.

Mountain Lion Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1045]

The Maxent modeling algorithm was used to build the species distribution model at 270 m spatial resolution using species occurrence points and environmental layers as predictors (Phillips et al. 2006). Species occurrence points were primarily obtained from CNDDB (California Natural Diversity Database) and other CDFW sources, GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), PRBO (Point Blue Conservation Science) and Arctos museum databases. Vegetation, distance to water, elevation, and bioclimatic variables (Franklin et al. 2013) were used as predictor variables. The models were run at 270 m spatial resolution with five replications using cross-validation as a method of sample evaluation. Cross-validation involved the partitioning of the sample data into n subsets, fitting the models to n-1subsets, and testing the model on the one subset not used in fitting the model. Initial model runs showed that our models converged around 2,000 iterations and for this reason we ran all models with 2,500 maximum iterations. Maxent was implemented in R using the ‘dismo''package (Hijmans et al. 2011). Model evaluation was carried out using the ‘PresenceAbsence''package in R (Freeman and Moisen 2008). We used AUC as a metric to evaluate model performance. The package also computes threshold values using several accuracy metrics to translate predicted probability maps into binary suitable and unsuitable habitats. We selected the MeanProb, a threshold set based on the mean predicted probability of species occurrences. The output from Maxent are grid datasets in a multiband ‘tif''format with one band for each replication. We averaged the five replicated maps and created a mean grid for each species. The grid was then symbolized to represent low (threshold-50), medium (50-75) and high (75-100) habitat suitability, with pixel values that are below the threshold excluded. 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].

Bank Swallow Monitoring - River Miles [ds21]

This data set uses a shapefile from the California Department of Water Resources which was digitized from the "Sacramento River, Sloughs, and Tributaries, California, 1991 Aerial Atlas, Collinsville to Shasta Dam" published by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District. This atlas was used by biologists while they were surveying for bank swallows from 1992 to 2000. The May 1984 edition of this atlas was used for locating river mile points during surveys from 1986 to 1991. River mile points in both atlases vary from those shown on USGS 24k quad maps and are provided here to facilitate the locating of the bank swallow nesting colonies which are described by river mile.

<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;'>In the Delta Anatomy Mapping Project all levee anatomies were delineated using slope grids built from available LIDAR data points. LIDAR data points were converted to digital elevation models and subsequently into slope grids. Thresholds were identified that capture the levee crown, levee landside, levee waterside, ramps and toe ditches. Visual interpretations of slope thresholds were used in conjunction with heads-up digitizing to maintain smooth boundaries at a scale of 1:550. The delineation thresholds were derived from a combination of mapping scale, slope grid resolution and slope thresholds used for each anatomy classification. All anatomy has gone through an internal quality control process to ensure a minimum locational quality of +/- 3 feet. Anatomy was further reviewed and tested by DWR for compliance with an interpretive mapping standard of 80% accuracy. This data depicts the levee anatomy at the time of the LiDAR survey (2007) and are only accurate for that time. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was created and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions.</span>

Vegetation - Suisun Marsh - 2021 [ds3187]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>To create the 2021 Suisun Marsh vegetation map, vegetation was interpreted from a mosaic of the true color imagery that was flown in June 2021. Polygons were delineated using heads-up digitizing (i.e., a photo interpreter manually drew polygons around each stand of vegetation) in Esri’s ArcGIS Pro 3.1.2, and polygon attributes were recorded within a file geodatabase. All attributes were interpreted using the Suisun Marsh 2021 imagery as the base imagery. The photo interpreters obtained information primarily from the 2018 map and 2021 reconnaissance points, which were used during mapping to determine vegetative signatures and the appropriate mapping type for each polygon. Several other imagery sources were used as ancillary data, including 2021 NAIP, 2021 NAIP Color Infrared, all imagery available through Google Earth (including street view), and the 2018 NAIP imagery. Minimum mapping unit (MMU): Typically, the minimum mapping size is 0.25 acres. However, the photo interpreters use their best judgment to determine if a stand below 0.25 acre should be separately delineated. For example, a smaller polygon would be appropriate for any new visible occurrence of a non-native species of concern, such as Phragmites australis, Arundo donax, Carpobrotus edulis, Eucalyptus spp., and Lepidium latifolium. Minimum mapping width: There are many long and narrow polygons within the Suisun Marsh study area, most of which are roads, ditches, levees, and sloughs. The minimum mapping width is typically 10 feet; however, if small sections of a stand fell below the minimum width, the polygon was not split. More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: </SPAN><A href="https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov:443/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3100_3199/ds3187.zip" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3100_3199/ds3187.zip</SPAN></A><SPAN>. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
