California Ground Squirrel Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1034]

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].

Vegetation - Ciervo Panoche North [ds3126]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>California Native Plant Society (CNPS) has initiated a project with partners at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to create a detailed vegetation map in the north‐western portion of the Ciervo‐Panoche Natural Area (CPNA). The classification is fully compatible with the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) (FGDC 2008) and the Manual of California Vegetation (Sawyer et al. 2009), which CNPS and CDFW jointly maintain.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Phase 1 of the project includes detailed vegetation mapping in the north‐western portion of the Ciervo‐Panoche Natural Area (CPNA). The project objectives during Phase 1 have included vegetation field sampling and vegetation mapping (photo‐interpretation, delineation, and attribution) in the north‐western CPNA. The vegetation map was based upon one‐meter resolution NAIP imagery taken in the summer of 2012. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) was 1 acre, with exceptions for wetland and other special types (0.5 acre MMU).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>In March 2015, CNPS staff conducted 189 field validation surveys across 192 pre‐selected polygons. From this data, users' and producers' accuracy was estimated. Producer’s accuracy across all types with a sample size of 3 or more was 81%, while the user’s accuracy of types with a sample size of 3 or more was 86%, meeting state standards for accuracy. Producer and user accuracy was slightly lower across all types regardless of sample size (i.e., 77% and 81% respectively), though several types had only one sample.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>More information can be found in the project reports, which are 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/ds3126.zip" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3100_3199/ds3126.zip</SPAN></A><SPAN>. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Elk Home Range - East Shasta Valley - 2016-2023 [ds3173]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The project lead for the collection of this data was Erin Zulliger. Elk (12 adult females) were captured and equipped with GPS collars (Litetrack/Pinpoint Iridium collars, Lotek Wireless Inc., Newmarket, Ontario, Canada or Vectronic Aerospace) transmitting data from 2016-2023. The East Shasta Valley herd migrates between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges, and migration corridors, migration stopovers, and winter ranges were modeled separately for this herd, but are not a part of this analysis. Annual home ranges were modeled using year-round data to demarcate high use areas. GPS locations were fixed at 1-13 hour intervals in the dataset. To improve the quality of the data set, the GPS data locations fixed in 2D space and visually assessed as a bad fix by the analyst were removed.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The methodology used for this migration analysis allowed for the mapping of the herd’s annual range. Brownian bridge movement models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 12 elk, including 36 annual home range sequences, location, date, time, and average location error as inputs in Migration Mapper. BBMMs were produced at a spatial resolution of 50 m using a sequential fix interval of less than 27 hours. Home range is visualized as the 50th percentile contour (high use) and the 99th percentile contour of the year-round utilization distribution. Annual home range designations for this herd may expand with a larger sample.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

The elements are subdivided into 21 subregions. Each element is composed of corresponding groundwater nodes within the model domain. The model domain area is 20, 742 square miles, and each element is roughly 407 acres. The boundaries of the model grid were developed using a set of control points at important locations of the model area. The finite element mesh was created using GIS and several Excel and FORTRAN utilities. The grid size was refined in areas of higher groundwater gradient and/or areas that are more critical from hydrogeological viewpoints. The grid lines are designed parallel to the streamflow direction, when possible, as well as the groundwater streamlines, to capture the surface and subsurface drainage patterns. Nine major faults in the Central Valley are represented by thin strip of elements of around 500 feet. The dataset excludes three geologic outcrops: Sutter Buttes, Kettleman Hills and Capay Valley Hills, which are areas not included in the Bulletin 118. The dataset is maintained by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Office, Modeling and Tools Support Section. The areas calculated for this data using the WGS 1984 Web Mercator projection may not reflect the actual areas used in the C2VSimFG model.</span><br /></p></div>

Gull-billed Tern Range - CWHR B226 [ds976]

Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for Californias wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For more information about CWHR, visit the CWHR webpage (https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR). The webpage provides links to download CWHR data and user documents such as a look up table of available range maps including species code, species name, and range map revision history; a full set of CWHR GIS data; .pdf files of each range map or species life history accounts; and a User Guide.

California Thrasher Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1033]

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].
