Vegetation - Upper Santa Ana River Wash - SBWCD [ds3212]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District (SBVWCD) contracted AECOM to produce an association-level vegetation classification and map of lands owned and/or managed by the District in the Upper Santa Ana River Wash. The classification is consistent with the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) (CNPS 2018), and vegetation sampling methods followed National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Index protocols. </span></p><p><span>The mapping study area consists of approximately 2,200-acres near Mentone, in San Bernardino, California. Approximately 1,500-acres lie within the Preserve set aside for the Upper Santa Ana River Wash Habitat Conservation Plan. The primary purpose of this project was to provide the District a consistent system for the mapping of vegetation on its lands. Vegetation mapping is conducted periodically by the District to inform various environmental and species management initiatives.</span></p><p><span>All plot data collection took place May 2-5, 2025. Four-band (RGB and color NIR) aerial imagery was collected May 4, 2022. All image acquisition, processing, and ortho-rectification were conducted by GeoTerra, Inc. Polygons were drawn using a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 0.5 acre, and vegetation attributes assigned using the vegetation key provided in the newly created classification. Field reconnaissance was conducted by the photo-interpreter during the earliest stages of mapping to establish photo-signature recognition for each alliance and association. There were a total of 21 mapping classes. </span></p><p><span>More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3200_3299/ds3212.zip </span></p></div></div></div>
DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update

DSM2 Version "DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update" is based on "DSM2 Input 2025-05-28", and includes the following improvements:

* Corrections to SMSCG time series input for the RADIAL_FRACT_UP and RADIAL_FRACT_DOWN time series. 
* Modified pipe coefficients for False River Barrier and the South Delta Temporary Barriers. Previously, some of these coefficients were greater than 1.0, which is used in SCHISM to simulate barrier leakage. Since barrier leakage in DSM2 is simulated differently, the coefficients do not need to be greater than 1.0.

Elk Migration Lines - West Goose Lake - 1999-2002, 2018-2020 [ds2900]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>The project leads for the collection of this data were Erin Zulliger and Richard Shinn. The winter range of the West Goose Lake Rocky Mountain elk (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Cervus canadensis nelsoni</span></span><span><span>) sub-herd is located north of Alturas and west of Highway 395 within the Devil’s Garden Ranger District of the Modoc National Forest. This area is characterized by juniper (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Juniperus occidentalis</span></span><span><span>) woodlands, and sagebrush flats with some stands of lodgepole (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Pinus contorta</span></span><span><span>) and ponderosa pine (</span></span><span style='font-style:italic;'><span>Pinus ponderosa</span></span><span><span>) throughout flat, rocky terrain. From this area, a portion of the herd migrates approximately 50 miles north into Oregon’s Fremont National Forest, habitat that primarily consists of lodgepole and ponderosa pine forests. Minimal barriers exist along this migration route since the corridor primarily occurs on land managed by the US Forest Service. Additionally, although the core migration route does cross Highway 140, little to no impacts are known to exist from this crossing. Elk (12 adult females, 1 adult male, and 3 juvenile males) were captured from 2018 to February 2020 and equipped with Lotek and Vectronic satellite GPS collars. Additional GPS data was collected from elk (2 females and 1 male) in 1999-2002 and included in the analysis to supplement the small sample size of the 2018-2020 dataset. GPS locations were fixed at 4-hour intervals in the 2018-2020 dataset and 6 to 8-hour intervals in the 1999-2002 dataset. </span></span></p><p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>Migration lines as symbolized connect GPS data points per elk per seasonal migration.

Vegetation - Los Penasquitos Lagoon [ds3034]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>The San Diego Coast District, Department of Natural Resources, and California State Parks created a fine-scale vegetation map of portions of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon. San Diego Coast District, Department of Natural Resources, and California State Parks conducted field reconnaissance assistance for this project, as well as accuracy assessment (AA) field data collection. CDFW’s Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) provided in-kind service to allocate and score the AA. The mapping study area consists of approximately 1204.82 acres of San Diego county. Prior to performing field work, preliminary polygons were delineated on a 2013 true color aerial image with 6 inch pixel resolution. The majority of polygons were later surveyed in the field and redrawn as needed to accurately reflect the boundaries of each vegetation type. Field data was collected from mid 2013 to early 2015. The primary purpose of the project was to further CDFW’s goal of developing fine-scale digital vegetation maps as part of the California Biodiversity Initiative Roadmap of 2018. Mapped vegetation was classified according to the Vegetation Manual for Western San Diego County (AECOM 2011) codes. Holland (sensu Oberbauer 2008) classes were derived via the crosswalk recommended in the Vegetation Manual for Western San Diego County (AECOM 2011). CNPS under separate contract and in collaboration with CDFW VegCAMP developed the floristic vegetation classification used for the project. The floristic classification follows protocols compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and National Vegetation Classification Standards (NVCS). The vegetation map was produced applying heads-up digitizing techniques using LIDAR vegetation elevation data, false color infrared, and other aerial imagery. Map polygons are assessed for Vegetation Type, Percent Cover, Exotics, Development Disturbance, and other attributes. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 0.1 hectares. Mappers retained salt panne, mudflat, and water polygons that were below the MMU due to the importance of these habitats. In addition, polygons that were enclosed by these habitat types (such as islands of Salicornia pacifica surrounded by water) were allowed as exceptions to the MMU rule, as were polygons on the perimeter of the mapped area. Polygons initially mapped as salt panne, mudflat, or water that were later changed to a different category based on examination in the field were also allowed as exceptions to the MMU rule. Field reconnaissance and accuracy assessment enhanced map quality. The accuracy assessment was performed in the autumn of 2016. A total of 61 plots from 20 categories were evaluated. The final map accuracy was 56% using a traditional error matrix. There was a total of 42 mapping classes. The overall Fuzzy Accuracy Assessment rating for the final vegetation map, at the association levels, is 89% percent. </span></p></div></div></div>
Vegetation - Santa Lucia Preserve [ds2924]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='text-align:Justify;margin:0 0 0 0;'><span>Aerial Information Systems, Inc (AIS) was contracted to create both a baseline vegetation map derived from 1990s-era imagery and an updated 2010 vegetation map for the Santa Lucia Preserve (Preserve) and neighboring properties to the west, for a total area of 25,630 acres. The neighboring properties are contiguous with the western boundary of the Preserve and are owned by several different organizations. These adjacent properties are: Whisler-Wilson Ranch, Palo Corona Regional Park, both owned by Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (MPRPD); Mitteldorf Preserve, owned by Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT); a small portion of the Joshua Creek Canyon Ecological Reserve, which is the property of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW); and several pieces of private property owned by individuals.

Pronghorn Home Range - Mount Dome - 2019-2020 [ds2935]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>The project lead for the collection of this data was Richard Shinn. Pronghorn (9 adult females) were captured and equipped with GPS collars (Sirtrack, Havelock North, NZ) transmitting data from 2019-2020. The Mount Dome herd contains short distance, elevation-based migrants, but this herd does not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. Instead, much of the herd displays a somewhat nomadic migratory tendency, slowly moving up or down elevational gradients. Some individuals used higher elevation areas throughout the summer, though this pattern was not ubiquitous. Therefore, annual home ranges were modeled using year-round data to demarcate high use areas in lieu of modeling the specific winter ranges commonly seen in other ungulate analyses in California. The plateau extending south of Sardine Flat is highly used during winter by many of the collared animals, while the higher elevation flatlands between Klamath Lake Sump and Mount Dome are used in summer. Overall, a much smaller area is used than adjacent pronghorn herds in California, with much of the full home range extent being high use. GPS locations were fixed between 1-2 hour intervals in the dataset. To improve the quality of the data set as per Bjørneraas et al. (2010), the GPS data were filtered prior to analysis to remove locations which were: i) further from either the previous point or subsequent point than an individual pronghorn is able to travel in the elapsed time, ii) forming spikes in the movement trajectory based on outgoing and incoming speeds and turning angles sharper than a predefined threshold , or iii) fixed in 2D space and visually assessed as a bad fix by the analyst. </span></span></p><p style='margin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>The methodology used for this migration analysis allowed for the mapping of the herd’s home range. Brownian bridge movement models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 9 pronghorn, including 12 migration 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 and a fixed motion variance of 1000. Large water bodies were clipped from the final outputs. Home range is visualized as the 50</span></span><span><span>th</span></span><span><span> percentile contour (high use) and the 99</span></span><span><span>th</span></span><span> percentile contour of the year-round utilization distribution. Twelve years of collective movement data from 9 individuals were used to construct home ranges. Home range designations for this herd may expand with a larger sample.</span></p></div></div></div>
