SWAP Terrestrial Targets - 2015 [ds1966]

The California State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) is required under the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants Program (SWG), which allows states and territories to receive Federal grant funds. It is a comprehensive vision for wildlife conservation initially completed in 2005 and updated in 2015. The GIS data for SWAP are divided into two types - terrestrial (vegetation macrogroup based) and aquatic(watershed based)data. This file contains the terrestrial targets. The SWAP defines "target" macrogroups throughout the state and describes their "Key Ecological Attributes", Environmental "Pressures"" (positive or negative) and "Strategies" for protection/enhancement of each target. Terrestrial targets are composed of specific macrogroups which are assigned target status based on what ecoregion and province they are within. A macrogroup may be a target within a certain ecoregion, but not a target within others. The macrogroups used in this data set come from CaLFIRE-FRAP data. Initially, CALFIRE-FRAP compiled the "best available" land cover data into a single data layer (FVEG15_1), to support the various analyses required for the Forest and Rangeland Assessment, a legislatively mandated function. These data were updated to support on-going analyses and to prepare for the next FRAP assessment in 2015. The landcover data were crosswalked to macrogroups based on the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) for use in the California Department of Fish and Wildlifes (CDFW) State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) in 2015. The "best available" landcover dataset for California (FVEG15_1) was crosswalked to macrogroups, a level in the hierarchical vegetation classification from the California Manual of Vegetation (MCV), the California arm of the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS). These data were developed for use in CDFWs 2015 SWAP update and presented in Chapter 5 of the SWAP document using common names which are used throughout the SWAP document.

<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;'>This dataset is a compilation of survey monuments as points used by the State of California, Department of Water Resources. The associated data is considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.6, dated September 27, 2023. A survey monument can represent a boundary location or be used a precise location used for mapping and precise engineering measurements. Boundary monuments are the corners of parcels or lines of easements that can only be visualized on the ground by setting markers, or survey monuments. A survey monument is a physical marker that locates a corner or line on the ground. They can be on a line or offset from a line, on, above or below the surface, noticeable or almost invisible. They take many forms but the majority of the monuments set for the state water project are a varying diameter of metal pipe set flush or below the ground with an aluminum cap stamped with a number representing the point.</span>

Heermann's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1042]

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].

Aspen Characteristics - Sierra State Parks [ds379]

The database represents point locations and associated stand assessment data collected within aspen stands on lands administrated by the Sierra District, California Department of Parks and Recreation, Placer, Eldorado, Sierra and Inyo Counties, California. This data was gathered during the summer of 2005. The stands were evaluated according to their priority with regard to stand loss. The dataset has 15 aspen stands, of which six have been assessed. Field surveys were conducted by trained USFS field staff. Surveys were not complete for the watersheds, and so this is not considered a comprehensive database of aspen in the region. Aspen stands were assessed and delineated using a protocol developed by the lead investigators. Associated with this point layer is a polygon layer (SIERRA_SP_POLY) containing aspen stands delineated in conjunction with the aspen assessment information. Data Compilation: The Aspen Delineation Project (ADP) is a collaborative effort of the U.S. Forest Services Pacific Southwest Region, the California Department of Fish and Games Resource Assessment Program, and the California Office of Bureau of Land Management. Principal Investigator for ADP is David Burton; visit: www.aspensite.org for more information regarding the ADP. The Department of Fish and Games, Resource Assessment Program compiled this information from the collaborating agencies and other researchers, and formatted the data into a common database for the purpose of facilitating access to data related to the conservation of Quaking Aspen in California. This information portal falls within the ADP goals to help agencies and land managers identify, map, treat, and monitor aspen habitats. This dataset is a portion of a master database compiled during a year long effort in 2005 to pull together current GIS layers and maps depicting Aspen communities in California.

This data set was created by scanning the original sheets from (Harwood and Helley, 1987), the sheets were georeferenced individually and the geologic information was digitized using AutoCAD 2006. The accuracy of the digitized lines was deemed to be within acceptable error tolerances, with the digitized lines accurately matching the original drafted lines. In general, the width of the contact lines on the paper copy, accounting for scale, ranged up to about 20 meters (66 feet). During the original digitization, minor topological mistakes (such as identical rock units on both sides of a lithologic contact or unclosed polygons) and omissions (such as unidentified lithologic units) were applied according to the best available knowledge. Comparisons were made between the original mylar and colorized field sheets (as available), in addition to the Geologic Map of the Battle Creek Fault Zone, Northern Sacramento Valley, California (USGS Map MF-1298, 1981), the Geologic Map of the Chico Monocline and Northeastern Part of the Sacramento Valley, California (USGS Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-1238, 1981), the Geologic Map of the Red Bluff 30' X 60' Quadrangle, California (USGS Geologic Investigation Series Map I-2542, 1995), and the Geologic Map of the Whitmore Quadrangle, California (Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ-993).</span><br /></p></div>

Ashy Storm-Petrel Range - CWHR B581 [ds965]

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.

Time Constrained Search - 2017 - Terrestrial Species Stressor Monitoring [ds2832]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Time constrained surveys for reptiles and amphibians were conducted at 184 Great Valley study sites, and 107 Mojave Desert sites, between March and June 2017. Whenever possible, three independent surveys of 30 minutes each were conducted over the course of the month-long survey period at each site. Time constrained searches were typically conducted after completion of avian point count surveys. Once the study site lifeform was determined, the observer began their search within the stand, but could move throughout the lifeform. In narrow riparian areas, observers could search the edges of these habitats in addition to the main lifeform. Observers were free to move about anywhere within the lifeform, making sure to check any cover object that was safe to inspect; this included rock crevices, burrows, downed logs, etc. Moved cover objects were to be returned exactly as they were found. When an observation was made, observers recorded the species (six-letter code if known, otherwise full common or scientific names), time of observation, age class (hatchling, juvenile, adult) if possible, confidence level, and a GPS location. Each subsequent TCS was conducted with the same amount of intensity as previous searches.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
