Vegetation - Carrizo Plain National Monument, Ecological Reserve and Adjacent Elk Range [ds1094]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) has created a fine-scale vegetation map of part of the range of the American Ranch and Chimineas Ranch tule elk herds. This section of the elk range is adjacent to the Carrizo Plain National Monument and the Chimineas Ranch Unit of the Carrizo Plain Ecological Reserve, both of which have been previously mapped. This map has been seamed to the vegetation map of the Chimineas Ranch completed by VegCAMP (VegCAMP 2010) and the map of the Carrizo Plain National Monument produced by the California Native Plant Society (Stout et al. 2013), and completes the range of these two elk herds in San Luis Obispo County, California. Like those maps, this mapping follows Survey of California Vegetation, Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) standards (FGDC 2008, Jennings et al. 2009). </span></p><p><span>The map legend is based on the classification in Stout et al. (2013), with slight modifications as discussed in Appendix C of the report, which is available here: </span><a href='https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=92951' rel='nofollow ugc'><span>https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=92951</span></a><span>. Reconnaissance-level sampling of vegetation stands in the project area was conducted in the spring of 2013. Polygons were drawn using heads-up digitizing with true color 1-foot aerial imagery from August 1, 2007 as the map base. Supplemental imagery included National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) true color and color infrared (CIR) 1-meter resolution data from 2010–2012, Bing imagery, and current and historical imagery from Google Earth. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre, with the exception of wetland types, which have an MMU of ½ acre. Mapping is to the NVC hierarchy Association, Alliance, or Group level based on the ability of the photointerpreters to distinguish types based on all imagery available and on the field data. Two sub-Group level mapping units were used in instances where the vegetation types could not differentiated on the imagery. The first mapping unit is composed of the Salvia leucophylla, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Artemisia californica, and Artemisia californica-Eriogonum fasciculatum Alliances; the second is composed of the Atriplex polycarpa and Atriplex canescens Alliances. Accuracy assessment (AA) data was collected in spring of 2014. Map accuracy was calculated to be 89 percent; corrections were made to the map based on the AA data to increase the final accuracy.</span></p></div></div></div>

Supplemental imagery included National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) true color and color infrared (CIR) 1-meter resolution data from 2010–2012, Bing imagery, and current and historical imagery from Google Earth. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is ½ acre in order to capture small, remnant native stands of trees, shrubs, and bunch grasses.

Peninsular Bighorn Sheep Habitat Vegetation Map [ds2660]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>Aerial Information Systems, Inc. (AIS) was contracted by the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) through a Local Assistance Grant originating from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to map and describe the essential habitats for bighorn sheep monitoring within the San Jacinto-Santa Rosa Mountains Conservation Area. This effort was completed in support of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP). The completed vegetation map is consistent with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife classification methodology and mapping standards. </span></p><p><span>The mapping area covers 187,465 acres of existing and potential habitat on the northern slopes of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains ranging from near sea level to over 6000 feet in elevation. The map was prepared over a baseline digital image created in 2014 by the US Department of Agriculture – Farm Service Agency’s National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). Vegetation units were mapped using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the Alliance (and in several incidences to the Association) level (See Appendix A for more detail) as described in the second edition of the Manual of California Vegetation Second Edition (Sawyer et al, 2009). </span></p><p><span>The mapping effort was supported by extensive ground-based field gathering methods using CNPS rapid assessment protocol in the adjacent areas as part of the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) to the north and east; and by the 2012 Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan vegetation map in the western portion of Riverside County adjacent to the west. These ground-based data have been classified and described for the abovementioned adjacent regions and resultant keys and descriptions for those efforts have been used in part for this project. </span></p><p><span>For detailed information please refer to the following report: </span></p><p><a href='http://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=138663' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span>Menke, J. and D.

Vegetation - Clear Creek Monocline Ridge [ds995]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) cooperated to created a detailed vegetation inventory to assist the Bureau of Land Management in the development of long-range management decisions in the area, which has a range of uses from a wilderness study area to grazing, mining, and off-road vehicles. In the spring and summer of 2004 and 2005, a field crew of vegetation ecologists collected 570 vegetation rapid assessments. In the fallwinter of 2004-2005, these data were entered into a database and analyzed using multivariate statistical programs to develop a floristic classification, keys, and descriptions of the vegetation types identified in the area. AIS then did a fine-scale mapping based on the classification which was compared to mapping based on CalVeg methodologies. This provided a test case for the development of vegetation mapping methodologies with recommendations to the California State Vegetation Memorandum of Understanding Committee.</span></p></div></div></div>

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 14 0;'><span><span>Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's 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 (</span><a href='https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span>https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR</span></a><span>).

The vegetation classification is derived from floristic field survey data collected during September 2011, November 2012 and June 2013 and is based on previously described Alliances and Associations, with a few new provisional types included. The map was produced using heads-up digitizing using true-color 2012 1-meter National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery as the base. Supplemental imagery included 2012 1-meter NAIP Color Infrared and imagery available through Bing Maps and Google Earth. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre for upland habitats and ¼-acre for wetland habitats. Field reconnaissance and field verification enhanced map quality.
