California Seed Zones

California seed zone boundaries <span style='font-size:11.5pt;'>were first proposed in 1946, r</span>evised, and published as<span style='font-size:11.5pt;'> a joint report between the U.S. Forest Service and CAL FIRE in 1970. The 85 seed zones are defined by major areas in California having similar climatic, topographic, and soil conditions. These are areas where plant materials can be moved or transferred with minimal risk of being poorly adapted to a new location. Each seed zone is labelled by a three-digit identifier that reflects the layer’s creation. </span><span style='font-size:11.5pt; text-indent:-0.25in;'>The first digit indicates the physiographic and climatic region. </span><span style='font-size:11.5pt; text-indent:-0.25in;'>The second digit gives the subregion, which captures the next lower level of environmental changes known to affect growth and adaptability of plants. </span><span style='font-size:11.5pt; text-indent:-0.25in;'>The last digit denotes the subzone. Subzones are limited to about 50 miles in latitude and further refine the uniformity of environment within each subregion. Where possible, boundaries follow natural or physical features. </span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;'>For more information, see the original publication: </span><a href='https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/treesearch/41438' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/treesearch/41438</a>.

Vegetation - Southern Sierra Nevada Foothills [ds3073]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span><span>Under contract to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Aerial Information Systems (AIS) created a fine-scale vegetation map of portions of the Southern Sierra Nevada Foothills in central California. AIS subcontracted the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) to conduct field reconnaissance assistance for this project, as well as accuracy assessment (AA) field data collection; and Soar Environmental Consulting to assist in the AA field data collection. CDFW’s Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) provided in-kind service to allocate and score the AA.  </span></span></p><p><span><span>The mapping study area, consists of approximately 1,824,939 acres, of Mariposa, Madera, Tulare, Kern, and Los Angeles counties. Work was performed on the project between 2019 and 2022. 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.</span></span></p><p><span><span>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).</span></span></p><p><span><span>The vegetation map was produced applying heads-up digitizing techniques using a 2018 base of one-meter National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery (true-color and color infrared), in conjunction with ancillary data and imagery sources. Map polygons are assessed for Vegetation Type, Percent Cover, Exotics, Development Disturbance, and other attributes. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 2 acres; exceptions are made for wetlands and riparian types, which were mapped to a 1-acre MMU.</span></span></p><p><span><span>Field reconnaissance and accuracy assessment enhanced map quality. There was a total of 111 mapping classes. The overall Fuzzy Accuracy Assessment rating for the final vegetation map</span></span><span><span>,</span></span><span><span>at the Alliance and Group levels, is 89.5 percent</span></span><span>.

DSM2 Input 2025-09-18 historical update

Version "DSM2 Input 2025-09-18 historical update" is based on version "DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update", and includes the following changes:

To improve representation of the west to east preferential flow path through Franks Tract:

* Reservoir connection coefficients for the node 103 connection are changed from 2250 to 3000,
* Reservoir connection coefficients for the node 225 connection are changed from 1500 to 4000.
* A new connection to Old River (node 102) added to Franks Tract. 

Changed NDUPLICATE values and flow coefficients (CF_FROM_NODE, CF_TO_NODE) for pipes representing South Delta temporary barrier leakage and culvert flow.
These changes improved water levels and salinity representation, as well as making the values consistant with the SCHISM calibration.   

Reduced Manning's n in Montezuma Slough to improve tidal flow results at station NSL. 

Version 2025-09-18 uses the same model grid and calibration as version 2025-05-28, which was calibrated using DSM2 v8.4.1. However, we recommend using
DSM2 v8.4.2, which includes a bug fix to allow the variable "NDUPLICATE" for GATE_WEIR_DEVICE to vary in time. This provides a more accurate
representation of Clifton Court Forebay gate operations by allowing the number of gates open to be specified as a time series.

Drainage EC time series input are the same used in the last two releases "DSM2 Input 2025-05-28 historical update" and "DSM2 Input 2025-07-03 historical update",
consisting of climatology EC values for all years except for 2021-2023, and inferred source EC values for 2021-2023.

All output location files have been updated to the grid used in this version. New files have been added to the common_input folder:

* Files for O&M compliance stations (output_om_compliance_ec.inp and output_om_compliance_stage.inp).
* output_mid_r_flow.inp was created using adjusted coordinates for station MDM, because the station exists in a single channel, but is represented in DSM2
   by two channels that are roughly parallel. Output flow locations for station MDM were removed from all other output location files. Users who wish
   to create a flow output for this location are encouraged to include this file rather than creating another output location, to reduce the risk of error.
   This file is included by default in the hydro.inp file.
* output_hydro_gates_res.inp: this file contains hydro output locations for gates and reservoirs. This information was previously in the file
   output_stations_hydro.inp.

C2VSimCG Version 2025 - Draft

Draft Coarse Grid California Central Valley Groundwater-Surface Water Simulation Model (released January 1, 2026). C2VSimCG v2025 is a computer program that simulates water movement through the linked land surface, groundwater, and surface water flow systems in California’s Central Valley from October 1973 through September 2015. The C2VSimCG model contains monthly historical stream inflows, surface water diversions, precipitation, land use, and crop acreages. 

C2VSimCG dynamically calculates crop water demands, allocates contributions from precipitation, soil moisture and surface water diversions, and calculates the groundwater pumping required to meet the remaining demand. It simulates the historical response of the Central Valley’s groundwater and surface water flow system to historical stresses and can also be used to simulate the response to projected future stresses. 

The C2VSimCG version 2025 model package includes model input files, GIS data, model report and a short document describing how to run the model.
