Potential Riparian Connections - CEHC [ds622]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>A product of the California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project - http://www.dfg.ca.gov/habcon/connectivity/, potential riparian connections were extracted from the Statewide 1:100k Routed Hydrography for California dataset (CDFG, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission September 2003 - see original metadata elsewhere in this document). The original data file is a 1:100,000-scale stream-based routed hydrography covering the entire State of California. Named rivers and streams that were 30,000 feet in length or longer were extracted from the dataset and added to Figures 3.1 to 3.9 in the report. These potential riparian connections were added to illustrate the contribution of streams and rivers in providing additional avenues for terrestrial and aquatic connectivity to the network of Natural Landscape Blocks and Essential Connectivity Areas. This analysis was conducted by SC Wildlands.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Interstate Connections -  California Essential Habitat Connectivity (CEHC) [ds619]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) commissioned the California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project because a functional network of connected wildlands is essential to the continued support of California's diverse natural communities in the face of human development and climate change. The Essential Connectivity Map depicts large, relatively natural habitat blocks that support native biodiversity (Natural Landscape Blocks) and areas essential for ecological connectivity between them (Essential Connectivity Areas). This coarse-scale map was based primarily on the concept of ecological integrity, rather than the needs of particular species. Essential Connectivity Areas are placeholder polygons that can inform land-planning efforts, but that should eventually be replaced by more detailed Linkage Designs, developed at finer resolution based on the needs of particular species and ecological processes. It is important to recognize that even areas outside of Natural Landscape Blocks and Essential Connectivity Areas support important ecological values that should not be "written off" as lacking conservation value. Furthermore, because the Essential Habitat Connectivity Map was created at the statewide scale, based on available statewide data layers, and ignored Natural Landscape Blocks smaller than 2,000 acres squared, it has errors of omission that should be addressed at regional and local scales.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's 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.

Western Grebe - Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) [ds237]

This data set contains basic observation information on Western Grebes in California and is provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). AKN is a joint venture including sponsors National Biological Information Infrastructure and National Science Foundation, and collaborators Cornell Lab of Ornithology, PRBO Conservations Science, Redwood Sciences Laboratory, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, and Bird Studies Canada. AKN collects, organizes, archives, and distributes avian data for various analytical purposes. This large (almost 20,000,000 observations to date) and comprehensive database provides a unified structure where data from multiple sources can be used together to produce more meaningful products. AKN also has developed applications to visualize temporal and spatial patterns of bird movements and numbers. These bird observations were made by professional birding consultants, ornithologists, researchers, and knowledgeable volunteers over the last few years. Most of their observations came from point counts from job sites, back yards, or from sites established to assess bird populations in specific locations or habitats throughout California. Protocols for the three programs that produce the most observations are on the web at: eBird - http://www.ebird.org/content/ Great Backyard Bird Count - http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/ Project FeederWatch - http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/ The dataset is limited in that the there is no observer provided for each record, the location is only accurate to a circular area equivalent to about one-sixteenth of a square mile, and a number of fields have only code values and the code definitions are not known.
