Bay-Delta SCHISM Processed Bathymetry

These datasets include processed Digital Elevation Models as used in important SCHISM studies, in particular the Delta Conveyance Project and 10 year retrospective. The datasets closely follow version 4.2 of our bathymetric data set but with three modifications:
* The DCP mesh includes some sections that are based on version 4.1 of our bathymetric data. These are bundled and labeled separately.
* Removal of subgrid curvature arifacts with the algorithm of Malladi and Sethian
* Inclusion of design surfaces for Lindsey Slough, Yolo Flyway Farms, Decker Island and Tule Red restoration areas.
* Synthetic extensions of the upstream reaches of the Sacramento and Mokelumne Rivers meant to prevent tidal reflection under extreme sea level rise. An extended lidar surface (not synthetic) is provided for the same purpose on Yolo Bypass

Vegetation Cover - Spears and Didion Ranches [ds319]

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.

Biological Resources Inventory (BRI) Direct Observations - CDFW [ds2672]

The Biological Resources Inventory (BRI) consists of 17 related tables, covering biological groupings (fish, invertebrates, plants, terrestrial vertebrates and even habitats), properties, data sources, and survey types. For each biological grouping, there are two tables. One lists all the species within an organismal grouping expected to occur in California (or in the case of habitats, all the habitat types expected to occur in California). The other links to a given species (in its respective organismal grouping) or habitat from the first table with a property number, and in some cases, provides further information about such details as the abundance, season and survey type. As expected there is also a table that links the property numbers used throughout the database with the actual property name. Our research indicates that this list of property names and numbers may not be up to date, nor reflect the names and property numbers used in the current lands inventory (more information about the Lands Inventory is available from Sharon Taylor, Lands Program- Sharon.Taylor@wildlife.ca.govor 916-323-7194). There are also several supporting tables that provide information about interpreting the codes used for abundance, season and survey type. While there are many entries in the BRI, most lack information about who, how, when and why they were obtained. We know data was collected from many sources and ranges in quality from first person direct observations made by CDFW personnel and partners, to regional bird and plant lists, to land management plans, to predicted occurrences from one of several nascent iterations of the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships program.Because of this variation, and our inability to understand the provenance or verify the accuracy of the data, we felt it prudent to only include the highest quality data from the BRI in the Biogeographic Information and Observation System (BIOS). This dataset is a subset of the information contained in the BRI database. It consists of direct observations made by CDFW staff or partners of fish, invertebrates, plants, terrestrial vertebrates and habitats from the BRI.While this is the best and likely most useful data contained in the BRI, we still have little supplemental information about the nature of these direct observations (date of observation, observer, reason for study or survey etc.), and as such urge the user to exercise caution in interpreting these data.

Bird Species of Special Concern [ds463]

This data set is an intersection of all 63 vector polygon ranges depicted in the following publication with a statewide grid of 25 square mile hexagon cells. Shuford, W.D., and Gardali, T., editors. 2008. California Bird Species of Special Concern: A ranked assessment of species, subspecies, and distinct populations of birds of immediate conservation concern in California. Studies of Western Birds 1. Western Field Ornithologists, Camarillo, California, and California Department of Fish and Game. Sacramento. http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/species/ssc/birds.html The vector polygon ranges were hand drawn at a scale of 1:6,600,000 by authors and editors of the Bird Species of Special Concern report and digitized into shapefiles by staff of the Biogeographic Data Branch, California Department of Fish and Game. The hexagon grid for the state was created by Steve Goldman by modifying an AML (Arc Macro Language) script originally written by Eric Kauffman.

Vegetation - San Felipe Valley Wildlife Area [ds172]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This Vegetation Map of the San Felipe Valley Wildlife Area in San Diego County, California is based on vegetation samples collected in the field in 2002 and 2005 and on photo interpretation of a 2000 Color Infrared (CIR) Image. The map legend is based on classification of the plots and follows the hierarchical National Vegetation Classification System (USGS-NPS 2005) and Manual of California (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995). Types are cross-walked to California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) and Holland types. No report was produced; this metadata serves to document the entire project. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS: Each record represents the attributes of the individual polygon in the map layer, including vegetation type, structural information, and disturbance information. The map represents vegetation as it existing prior to the 2002 Pines Fire. Polygons are attributed to the lowest level of the classification hierarchy allowed by the image resolution and comfort level of the photo interpreter. Thus, individual polygons are mapped to the Formation, Alliance or Association level. Several "mapping units" not in the vegetation classification were also used in the mapping classification (=map legend). The hierarchical classification and crosswalk allow mapping at coarser levels or in different systems (e.g., CWHR). If mapping at the Formation level (the "1000s" in the spreadsheet), please consider including the California juniper types 2106, 2171, 2172 and 2173 in the 4000s (Evergreen Shrubland). This juniper is considered a tree in the national classification, but is more shrub-like and its desert affinities make California juniper types fit more logically into the Evergreen Shrubland Formation.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Herp Searches - Spears and Didion Ranches [ds323]

These data are detections of reptiles in 2005 from visual encounter searches of an area constrained to a 100-m radius circle around each of 15 fixed sample points at Spears and Didion Ranches, Placer County, California. Surveys were done three times in April and May by trained observers who searched the entire 100-m radius (3.1 ha) circular plot looking on and under rocks, logs, and debris for reptiles and amphibians. Fifty-eight detections were made of five species of reptiles and one species of amphibian.
