Vegetation - Suisun Marsh - 1999 [ds160]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>As part of the monitoring program in the Plan of Protection, a Triennial Vegetation Survey was developed to document the overall vegetation composition of the Suisun Marsh and to monitor Salt Marsh Harvest Marsh (SMHM) habitat by the use of aerial photography in combination with ground verification. The vegetation map adheres to the 1998 National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS) and the 1995 Manual of California Vegetation (MCV). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The mapping study area consists of approximately 69,323 acres of Solano county. The map consists of 39,460 vegetation polygons. SPOT satellite imagery acquired June, 1999 was utilized as a base for the delineated polygons and photo interpretation signature in the focus study areas. This vegetation mapping project of Suisun Marsh blends ground-based classification, aerial photo interpretation, and GIS editing and processing. The method is based on the development of a quantitative vegetation classification, which is used to describe the vegetation map units of the marsh. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) for this project was 0.5 acre.  Delineation was done without attempting to classify the signatures; all visibly different signatures were delineated.  A small number of the resulting polygons were below the general 0.5 acre minimum; these were drawn because they had distinctive photo signatures. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Accuracy Assessments (AA) were performed, beginning in September 2000. During this effort, team members utilized Global Position System (GPS) to locate delineated vegetation polygons and accuracy assessment forms were completed. A total of 271 vegetation polygons were visited during this effort. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The project report is available for download at: </SPAN><A href="https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov:443/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=90000" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=90000</SPAN></A></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Wastewater User Charge Survey Data for FY 2012-13, FY 2014-15, FY 2016-17 and CY 2018

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) conducts regular surveys of sewer rates and connection (capacity) fees charged by wastewater agencies. This dataset includes all the raw data submitted by the agencies, including the variable and flat rate information and all the other questions for the survey years of FY 2012-2013, FY 2014-2015, FY 2016-2017 and Calendar Year 2018. Only includes surveys submitted by Public Water Agencies.

Camera Trap Survey - Terrestrial Species Stressor Monitoring [ds2826]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Camera traps were deployed at 320 sites across the Mojave Desert ecoregion and 265 sites across the Great Valley ecoregion between March and July of 2016 and 2017. At each survey location, a Reconyx PC900 camera trap was cable-locked onto a T-post that was securely placed in the ground and baited with a 1-kg salt lick, 500 ml of oatmeal-peanut butter mixture, and 150 g of fishy cat food. Cameras were programmed to take three photos at each trigger event with a delay of one second between trigger events. Each camera was deployed for an average of 34 days at sites in the Mojave Desert ecoregion and 29 days at sites in the Great Valley ecoregion. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Photos collected were reviewed to identify observed animals to the species-level, and multi-species hierarchical occupancy models were used to estimate 1) species-specific probabilities of occupancy, 2) the richness of terrestrial mammal species weighing &gt;0.5kg, and 3) community and species-specific responses to the different ecological covariates. Each 24-hr period was treated as a repeat survey at a particular camera, where a '1' indicated species x was photographed at camera y on trap day z and a '0' indicated that it was not. A species' probability of occupancy (i.e., the probability a species used the area surrounding a camera trap during our survey) was assumed to be influenced by ecological covariates, such as the presence of an artificial water catchment, precipitation, and temperature in the Mojave Desert ecoregion, or water availability, temperature, and natural vegetation cover in the Great Valley ecoregion. A species' probability of detection (i.e., the probability a species was photographed if present) was assumed to be influenced by ecological covariates, such as human disturbance and precipitation. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Aspen Characteristics - Lassen National Forest [ds371]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The database represents point locations and associated stand assessment data collected in aspen stands in the in the Eagle Lake Ranger District, Lassen National Forest, Lassen County, California. Data were gathered during the summers of 2001-2005. Observations were conducted by trained Forest Service crews. Assessments were conducted within aspen stands in the region, or stands identified during field surveys. This dataset is considered to be a complete inventory of aspen in these watersheds, based on the extensive effort to survey all stands in the region. Aspen stands were assessed and delineated using a protocol developed by the lead investigators at the Eagle Lake Ranger District. Assessments included information describing the ecological condition of the aspen stand, and if browsing of the aspen was present or absent. Associated with this point layer is a polygon layer (LASSEN_NF_EAGLELAKE_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 Service's 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.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
